Hey guys!
I have had this Kingston 120gb SSD for one year now and it worked fine every single day (without showing any failure signs) until 2 days ago. I left my pc for 30 minutes, and when i came back, it was in sleep mode as usual, but i couldnt click on anything, i could only move the mouse. So i restarted it and then it said 'reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key'. And then i restarted a few more times and the same happened.
Things i did after (with no avail):
-checked if the SSD appeared on bios
-unpluged and repluged all the cables, and switched them too.
-Changed my boot order in bios.
-Unplugged every other hard drives and left only the SSD(then when i rsstarted it said something like SHELL in yellow or something, like a comand prompt) but still, i couldnt boot to windows.
-Inserted windows cd and then when it asked me to choose the drive to repair/install windows, only my hdd appeared.
-reseted bios to defaul settings.
-tried all the above in a friends pc too.
By now, my thoughts would be to RMA my SSD. But the strange thing is that it wasnt showing any failure/slowing down signs up until this happened. And I bought it only a year ago and i didnt even defraged it ever.
Any help please?
One note: one month ago before this happened i reformatted my pc and did a fresh install of windows, but still it was working fine up until 2 days ago.
