OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS Help.

I have a OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS SSD that is acting wierd.
Most of the time from a cold boot it isn't there or if you let it off for about 3-4 minutes. But if you reset the rig and it is there again. It was working fine in another rig and testing it out side the rig, but this happens when I build a friend rig with it in there. Same mobo/ram/PSU/HDD and I added a Blu-ray/3 HDD too it.
Is it a sign that the SSD is failing?

Secure erase it and reinstall?

Update it's firmware?

Update the mobo's BIOS version?

System overclocked? That can cause issues for boot.
