This problem has been ongoing for several years, but it used to occur rarely. Now it happens almost every week, sometimes even more often. My PC functioned well for a long time until, a few years ago, it would lag or crash after turning on or using it for a while. It would display a blue screen, then I’d power it off and back on, only to see it report it couldn’t find a bootable drive. After leaving it off for a couple of hours and trying again, Windows would launch successfully. However, the issue kept getting worse until I reinstalled Windows, which temporarily resolved it for about three to four months before it returned. I’ve reinstalled several times now and decided to replace the SSD with a new one. Recently, the problem has intensified. It no longer triggers blue screens, but everything starts intermittently, programs crash, and restarting doesn’t help—it just shows the same boot error message. I discovered that unplugging and replugging the SSD, whether on the same port or a different one, seemed to fix it for a week or so. Any suggestions?
