Been wrestling with my computer for a couple days now. Starting to suspect my SSD is dead. How do I tell for sure?
After a day and a bit of trying to salvage my C drive when my computer was blue screening on startup (long story), I borrowed a buddy's computer, whipped out the C drive, backed everything up, reformatted. However. My problems didn't stop there.
Reinstalled a bunch of stuff. Thought everything was working fine. Then I tried copying stuff back over to my C drive, froze a few times trying to do it. Worked third time, tried launching up Planetside 2 (had a dozen of my clan mates on, ain't put in a showing for a few days, was eager to get on), froze on starting the game up. Restarted, said no OS detected, whipped all other HD's out, used startup recovery on the W10 disc. Got back in which has let me post this thread up (though I can plug my buddy's computer back in as a back up plan). I've also had some really weird behavior from my computer here n there, not sure how to explain it? Just weird. You know when things feel off? I dunno.
How do I tell if my SSD is near dead? Probably had it a year or 2 now, on 24/7, OS and 2 games on it, game on it for 2-4 hours every day. Sometimes a little more. Don't they only last like 3 years? Wouldn't that be like 2 years with heavy use wouldn't it? Is there some program or something I can run that will tell me the health of my SSD? If it's got I dunno, dead sectors or whatever on it? (I know just enough to ask stupid questions, no more =p).
Like does CHKDSK work on SSD's? Or is that not a thing I wanna do?
Plz! Halp! Do I need to buy a new SSD? What do I do? D=
Also, I've got a Samsung SSD, should I go same again? Or are other brands better right now?
Edit : OH SHIT! Loaded up Planetside 2. 60fps, was running 25 before reformat. XD
