Hi, Petgrill.

We need more information.

How old is the computer, and has this problem been happening from the beginning? Or did it start happening sometime later? Also, is the SSD the only storage you have? If so, how much space on the drive is currently being taken up?

Hmmm…

As long as it doesn’t void the warranty, open the case (after powering off and unplugging the computer) and make sure all components are tightly plugged in and securely connected. Make sure that everything that is plugged into the power supply is snug, and ensure that you RAM sticks are firmly socketed. Sometimes things can get jostled around when transported. If this doesn’t work, then you’ll need to find a way to do as doomiz advises.
