hi there i was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of what might be wrong with my SSD.
What is happening is that just recently (a day or two ago) it started shutting down on me.
It usually happens when i'm not at my computer, when its just sitting for a little while. I come back to a black screen that says "please connect proper boot device or insert proper boot media" (something very similar to that anyways)
Once i hold down the power button to shut the system off, and turn it back on, it works again.
If it does it while i'm actually on the computer, usually the system will freeze up on me with whatever i'm doing, and I have to power it down, but usually when i restart it loads up fine.
it only seems to give me that message about a boot drive when i'm not at the computer, and it shuts down on its own, otherwise if i'm at the computer its just a system freeze and the restart fixes it.
the steps i've taken are to clean out my system of dust really good, checked all cables and connections.
I followed almost all the steps in the FAQ sticky in the system freezing section, my drivers are up to date, i've done the scandisk thing etc etc
anyone able to tell me whats going on here and if i can fix it?
i'm kind of worried that my SSD is just failing on me. Its a crucial M4 128GB
thanks to anyone who can help.
