Hi there,

I'm facing a recurring problem with my Computer which I think is attributed to either a faulty or not properly configured SSD or my Bios loading devices in the wrong order.

The issue has usually occured on the startup, bios loads, starts to load HDD's and SSD's etc then fails to load windows and displays nothing but a black screen with weird characters in black writing. This was fixed everytime by booting into the BIOS and choosing the SSD to boot from.

The other day this issue occured upon shutdown (But I wasn't there to see it)

My question is this: How would I start troubleshooting this problem? are the SSD specific drivers etc I should be using? Is there an easy fix or is this damaged hardware?

Regards
