Hello, yesterday my PC stopped booting normally and now will rarely detect my SSD when booting leaving me with a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the top left until it reboots again. I have spent most of the day trying to troubleshoot this issue but I am baffled by this, it seems completely random if it will detect the drive and boot to it. My best guess is that the SATA controller on the motherboard is responsible and is failing. Is there anything else that could be causing this?
Thanks

Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X4 965
8.00GB DDR3 @ 667MHz
MSI 760GM-P34(FX) <--- Very cheap MB
ATI Radeon HD 7950 3GB
223GB INTEL SSDSC2CT240A3
931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162
Edit: I ran a full diagnostic scan using Intel's SSD Toolbox but didn't find any issues.
