Oh, c'mon... I go in the office and turn on the PC, only to realize that it isn't fully turning on.
I press power and everything sounds normal. I hear the power supply going, the 120mm fans, etc. Again, sounds all normal. But then I quickly realize that my monitors aren't kicking on from their power save mode... neither of them. Since each monitor is plugged in to a different GPU, I can eliminate the possibility of one of those being the problem. My speakers are also just as I left them, turned on and fully functional, yet I never hear any sound at all, much less the Windows startup chime.
The PC is running and everything appears to be functioning power-wise, but it would seem that my Windows drive (the SSD) has gone kaput... AGAIN.
Anyone have a different theory before I call OCZ tomorrow to tell them what I think of their drives?
(I guess I could try a different drive on that SATA cable in order to eliminate the cable being the issue, but I'd say there's an almost 0% chance the cable is the problem)
