Hi,
following a message about insufficient memory, my PC is now refusing to start.

Upon starting i receive the message "preparing automatic repair" followed by "Diagnosing your PC".
After some time I receive the message "Attempting Repairs" followed by "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC".

Resetting PC and all other advanced options have no effect.

I am using Windows 10 and the system drive is a samsung 850 EVO SSD.

Using a command prompt, I am unable to access the system drive, although I can access my other HDD's

I think that the SSD may have failed, but how can I be sure of it is this, rather than a windows issue?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
