I've had a couple random crashes/reboots where the wildfire isn't recognized until a cold reboot. Maybe two since flashing to 3.2.0.
mb: ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
RAM: 16gb g.skill ripjaws
GPU: igpu
PSU: corsair ax750
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
I'd be happy to take a replacement drive, but I'd appreciate cross-shipping so that I can clone the drive first. I'm happy to give a CC # for you guys to hold to make sure I send the drive back.

SSD lost by system

As many people told, you do not need to stress PC. Just leave it for a while (48 hours?) - and it will die (if OS is installed on WildFire) or it will just lost connection to it if it just storage.
And actually it can be even right way for catching problem: I never had BSOD while I was using computer. It has always happened during night or lunch break when computer was in standby mode, doing nothing.

I have PM'ed with information on sending the drive back to us.
As for stress testing we do multiple different things on the test systems. Having it idle through the night is one of them. I have multiple systems up all doing different things.

Random crashes
Specs:
Mobo: Asus P8Z68-V Pro
BIOS version: 0606
CPU: Intel i7 2600k
RAM: 16GB G Skill DDR3-1600
PSU: 1000 Watt
Video: AMD Radeon HD 6970
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
After I updated the firmware, when I'm not home, or in the middle of the night; the PC just restarts and my storage drive is set as primary. There isn't an OS on that drive, and the cursor just blinks. I shutdown the PC, turn it back on and go into the BIOS. It now detects the drive again, and am able to change the boot order. However, I'm doing this every day now. I don't understand how all of us are having these problems, yet in the "closed environment", you're not able to replicate the issue. Are we able to go back to the older firmware?

When I have bought this WildFire SSD and started to have issues with it, I did search in internet. I have found some testing report for this drives from some company (can not find them again) where they say that about 1% of Patriot WildFire SSD's have this issue. It looks like we are in this unlucky 1%.
Bad thing is that I have RMA'ed it once - and have the same issue.
May be we just need to send our defective drives to Patriot, and they will test really bad ones instead of stressing good ones they have?

Old firmware
I'm just angry at myself for upgrading to the new firmware version. I'm kicking myself now.

My Patriot Wildfire was working fine for a few days but just had the problem this morning not even doing much just browsing the web.
MSI Z68-gd80
16gb ram
2600k
All drivers are updated using AHCI and it is plugged into my intel chipset sata 3 port.
Not really causing a problem for me but i would like it if it was fixed at some point.
Thanks.

i've RMA-ed my drive a few days ago and since then it has being run for 5 days continously perfectly! it still use original FW, i'm not planning to upgrade the FW in the meantime though.
