did you check trhe Sata data/power cable .. connect the SSD on some other Sata port on the mobo, use some different Sata Cable / Or Sata power cable from PSU. If you are still facing the issue try the SSD on a friend's pc.

You can also try doing a reset of the BIOS of the motherboard by removing the CMOS battery.

Can you post a photo of the list of devices you see?

I checked with all sata ports and using different cable...but nothing works...

Could you make the effort to mention the psu as well? RMA the drive. Can't do anything about it.

Did you format the SSD before any usage or by any means ?? I too faced the same with my OCZ Vertex 3. But luckily it was recovered using OCZ Tools.

RMA the drive. Let me know how did you setup the fans inside your case. If they're between 35-42, then simply just change the thermal paster on the cooler and make sure its mounted properly.

I think it's a issue with the drive too. RMA it and see what comes up. Does the SSD work if it's only plugged and all other HDDs are unplugged?

Rear - 1x 120mm exhaust fan (3-pin header w/ molex adaptor)
Top - 1x 200mm fan mount
1x 120mm with TPC 212

Post the screenshot of HWMonitor over here. Make sure all the temps can be seen on that screenshot. Let's also not forget that its very hot in this time of the year. Having an open space around the system is important, so is cleaning the system and applying fresh coat of thermalpaste helps, but like I said, please put up the HWMonitor screenie.

Oh! I assumed you had another drive and installed an OS on it in the same rig so that you can diagnose and ask questions over here. >_>'

Well, send it for RMA. If you have a standby HDD to hook it to your system and install windows then we can go ahead, or else wait for the replacement to arrive..

the PD is not bootable any more .. you need to make it bootable again and copy windows setup fules. Use a working pc running windows 7 and make sure you have have windows 7 iso/disc . Now follow this :
Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (WUDT) is unable to copy files
