I powered off my desktop properly without any issues. The next day, when I restart it, the BIOS screen displays a question about possible causes. How can I view the outcome of that test? Thank you in advance.
An issue has occurred possibly from file damage or drive instability. Refer to CrystalDiskInfo for details on your drives. To assess a check disk, use the provided link: Spoiler More info relating to chkdsk here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...ent-viewer
This looks like a fresh setup. Please let me know if there are any issues with the Crystal Disk Info results. Your recent Wininit update is noted, and thanks for reaching out early!
It's uncommon for a disk check to reveal any major problems, but it's possible your drive remains stable for several years. Unless you notice more frequent issues, don't panic unless they become noticeable often. The CrystalDiskInfo report still indicates "good," which is satisfactory. If you store important files on that drive, make sure they're backed up elsewhere—like another external drive or network storage. Monitor the situation periodically; check the status weekly and watch for changes from "good" to "caution" or "bad." It's also worth noting that SSDs typically handle bad sectors by marking them as unusable. While this is manageable, keep an eye on it. In summary, 8KB of data is minimal nowadays, so worry only if the trend worsens.
Do those SS 980 Pros still face issues? I’m not up to date. Also, @OP you should check the SFC/DISM page for updates: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topi...6e85d4094e
There could be a problem. I didn’t perform the firmware upgrade myself, but for OP, check this video. I don’t have watched it, but I think it explains how to update your SSD firmware if you decide to. I also assume he’ll clarify why you’re updating. I’m aware there’s an issue with the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB model, which is what OP is experiencing. Spoiler.
I purchased a 1TB NVME drive two months ago for my workstation as I transitioned to Windows 11. I used Samsung Magician to verify the firmware and it indicated the drive was up to date. The seller at a nearby Microcenter had high sales volume, so I assumed recent purchases wouldn’t cause problems. No reports of failures with updated firmware have appeared. Still, running Samsung Magician would be a good precaution.
