Hi beechbum,
I sort of experienced the same issue with a OCZ Vertex 3 120GB maxiops SSD and this motherboard.
In my case however I don't get a bsod, but very occasionally my computer spontaneously restarts.
This could perhaps be related.
(I use the latest firmware and software in general)
My most important issue which still hasn't been solved is a serious write speed bottleneck with this SSD when C3/C6 State Support is enabled (or set tot auto) in any bios version, except F5. I am testing with Atto (older versions and newest).
See:
http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,6292.0.htmlI also saw Gigabyte removed version F8 from the website.
No explanation whatsoever.
I wonder why they do this.
