Windows crashed after just six days of use.
I just put Windows in on my Adata SX8100 2TB NVMe SSD about six days ago, but the PC won’t start. It doesn’t boot automatically, can’t fix itself, and I can’t reset or enter debug mode. I’m trying to figure out why this is happening. After a fresh install of Windows, are there other solutions besides replacing it?
Does the system identify the SSD? If yes, try connecting it to another computer to verify readability. Conduct some tests—poor results suggest a faulty SSD and you should replace it. Lemons appear in every product; consider swapping the drive or sending it back via RMA. If tests succeed, possible corruption from Windows installation means a clean wipe and reinstallation might be needed.
It's confirmed... I don't feel the need to transfer the NVMe SSD to another machine—it's brand new and there are no issues with the crystal disk information. The mark on the drive appears normal. I'm puzzled about the corruption though, especially since everything gets updated regularly.
Windows already reinstalled and drivers working... no obvious issues detected. Are there alternative tests available? Consider using ADATA SSD toobox, CrystaldiskMark/info, or hwmonitor64 for further checks.
There was a better test before, but it's no longer the case since you wiped your drive. Consider asking questions first, format later. Issues like BSOD and similar problems usually stem from hardware. Try booting your drive on another machine first; if it works, inspect your new hardware, cables, connectors, RAM, etc. Always verify your hardware first.
