A couple of days ago my computer froze completely, upon restart it went into an endless cycle of windows trying and failing to repair itself. It could not detect any system restore points, or any system images to load from.

So I reformatted my SSD and reinstalled windows. This seemed top fix things, and I managed to continue doing my work.
Last night I let windows update itself, which resulted in windows crashing in the similar way as it did a couple of days ago, only this time with the addition of a blue screen of death.

When restated it says NTRLOADER (or similar) missing, so I have to go into the bios to change my boot configuration.
Twice now when I have gone to do this my SSD has been missing completely from the hard drive list.

As I had some spare working RAM to hand, I have changed the RAM but the problem persists.

Am I right to assume that my SSD has failed?
