    Hi everyone,

    After a fatal one-day failure for the Agility3, I've switched to Vertex3 instead. Runs great so far, I've updated the firmware to minimize any potential BSOD/Lag/Disappearing issues that many people are experiencing.

    However... there's one issue - when I start up my computer on battery mode - it doesn't go into windows. Just gets stuck on a black screen! BIOS detects the Vertex3 but just failed to enter windows....

    I've done minor tweaks to the SSD, namely disabling Superfetch and Hibernation.

    Anyone know what's going on? Or are OCZ SSDs bad in general...
