Hello, I have an Asus ROG G751jm.
It worked great up until about a year ago, then the PC would have trouble booting, and Bios would show no drive. I replaced the drive with a SSD, and within a month that drive started to fail. I purchased a new drive again, and a couple weeks later it failed.

I can reformat the drive and it will work again for a few days to a week, but then fails in the same way. The drives doesn't disappear now, but the boot files become corrupt and windows runs painfully slow.

I am unsure what to do at this point, does anyone have any ideas of how I can test the motherboard, or any component that would cause my HDDs and SSDs to fail.

Thanks everyone ahead of time.

Hey there, meloss85.

It would be quite the coincidence (and bad luck) if all those drives have failed due to something being wrong with them. It seems like something really might be at fault with the laptop. Unfortunately, the best way to know for sure is to take to a computer service center (or the vendor you got it from if it's still under warranty) and have it fully tested and diagnosed, to see what might be causing this.

Since you've mentioned that your current drive works after reformatting it, have you tried testing it for errors with an HDD/SSD diagnostic tool, to see if anything unusual pops-up? If you're able to confirm that the drive is OK, then it really must be the laptop's fault. You could also try the drive with a...

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
