Spooky BSoDs
Spooky BSoDs
Hello everyone,
I've noticed a recurring BSoD message approximately three minutes after logging in to my Windows 10. I've tried several steps to identify the cause:
- Performing a full format of my main SSD with Windows installed and reinstalling a clean Windows 10.
- Repeating the process with Windows 11.
- Checking for hardware problems, such as replacing the power supply unit with a more robust one.
- Running an SSD health check with read/write counters; both SSDs showed normal readings.
- Confirming that no overheating issues were detected by Aida64.
- Switching between the two SSDs in BIOS; the first one reappeared and became functional again, but only after a short delay post-login.
I tried browsing from the second SSD (Ubuntu) on my Windows machine, which worked smoothly. I also ran "disk benchmark" via Ubuntu, and the second SSD performed well while the first SSD crashed intermittently.
I'm unsure what's happening. I expected the SSD to stop working once it failed, but sometimes it still functions briefly before failing. How can I be certain that my first SSD is truly dead?
Please let me know if you have any advice.
Best,
[Your Name]
Thank you for the suggestion! It seems my BIOS is current, but it appears the SSD is damaged.
Hopefully the SSD is covered under warranty and you have a backup of the data.
