M14x works fine then reboots into startup recovery.

Hey everyone, I need a bit of help here. I have a m14x r2 and for the second time this week It has gone into start up recovery and then just loops that and never actually fixes anything. I have windows installed on one partition of my M4 256Gig and then another partition for storage(movies, steam, drivers and EXEs for fresh installs and what not)

The first time I was surfing the internet and chrome froze up and crashed so I opened task manager and killed the process. Chrome closed and then the system immediately rebooted and on start up It went into start up recovery and started doing its thing. I let it run three times and then gave up and reinstalled windows.

The second time happened just now. I was playing CS GO all morning and had chrome open in the background. everything was great and then I exited CS and left chrome open and went and did some stuff around the house. I came back surfed the web a bit and then closed the lid(puts laptop to sleep) and left for a few hours. I came home opened the lid and It woke up like normal. Put in my password an logged in. Chrome popped up everything was great but I got a pop up saying something along the lines of NVIDIA COM has stopped working or maybe it was CQM I don't recall. Anyway I clicked close program. A min later it popped up again, and I Closed it again. I then clicked start -> restart. Everything shut down normal and then when it restarted it did the same start up recovery loop.

I have Win 7 pro installed from the disk that came with the laptop and its all up to date. the only software I have installed is Steam, minecraft, X64 java, chrome, mumble, system the drivers and software OSD and Alien control center, and MSI after burner for system monitoring in game.
Windows has always been installed following "Sean's Windows 7 Install & Optimization Guide for SSDs & HDDs " off of Overclock forums and then drives and whatnot installed using the fresh install guide on this forum.

The system is configured with
i7 3610qm
8Gigs ram
crucial M4 256gig SSD (came with the 750 gig)
900P screen
Killer wireless
and the 1 gig GT650.

I'm thinking its probably something with the SSD but would love your input. Im contemplating putting the HDD back in and copying everything off of the SSD and running tests on it what test do you suggest I run? I would normally run the seagate tool tests but this is my first SSD and I'm not sure if I should run different tests.

Anyway your input is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advanced for any help

Probably not relevant, but do you already have the latest firmware for your Crucial M4 installed?

 

Yes, it has the latest firmware. Im kinda even more convinced it is the M4 now. I pulled the drive and put in in a usb enclosure and tried to copy off everything from the second partition and it just says cannot read source file or disk. Tried that in normal and safe mode using windows explorer and Salamander to copy the files and have tried all the usb ports.

I then put the drive back in and wiped the primary partition and installed a windows. once it was up and running I tried to copy off all the data on the second partition but every time I try to copy something I just get an I/O error. I isnt really ever the same error tho. again tried in normal and safe mode using explorer and salamander with all usb ports.

Idk what else to do at the moment. I suppose I will leave it until I get home and have my desktop to play with it. Maybe it will be more cooperative when its plugged in to the motherboard.
