Windows 8 crashed, now SSD (boot drive) is missing in bios - help please.

I have a Corsair Neutron GTX 120gb SSD in a new computer (all parts brand new), I did a clean install of Windows 8-64 bit, on it, and it worked ok'ish for a week, one or two odd moments with tiles/apps closing of their own accord, then it crashed (while i was out of room) and said something like - error loading OS or cant find/load MBr / or windows (black screen), or something like that (sorry i dont remember exactly what it said).

i tried lots of things to recover with win8 install disk but no luck.

On looking in Bios, the SSD was no longer showing.

I ran HD tune software and it failed one of the health checks, i think it was Raw Read Error Rate, but cant be sure as i didnt write it down.

To "fix" it i eventually had to remove the SSD, plug it into another PC, format it, both the small 100mb (?) fat32 partition and the main 100+gig ntfs partition, reinstall it in my main pc, and it showed in bios again.
I re-installed windows 8, clean install on the SSD again, it worked great for another week, then it crashed again,
this time as i was sat in front of it -

Blue screen of death,
"KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (fastfat.SYS)"

then black screen - "error loading OS",
and on looking in Bios the SSD is again missing.

Can anyone help please? Faulty SSD? Any ideas?

Many Thanks,
Deckard6
