Hello. My SSD: Ssd Samsung Evo 850 250 GB, motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 UEFI,

So i want to write about my issues with Windows 10 just before format, when i was on MBR partition. I want to be sure that my SSD is fine or not.
So listen.

Windows 10 get somehow broken.
First. When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc. Then after this i get screen with Your pc did not start correctly or Automatic Repair couldnt repair your pc . And when i click restart then Windows 10 boot fine. So i am needing 2 boots to boot properly to windows. Automatic repair started every restart of pc, every start of pc.

Next.When i was in Windows 10. Task manager and event viewer was not responding and some of the applications stop responding. I was clicking and nothing happening.


Somebody with the same SSD Samsung Evo 850 get similiar issues and ssd was faulty.

He said:
" From this point everything went to hell, and after multiple windows reinstalls here's some of what happens:
- Windows installs but errors immediately follows;
- Some windows updates install but eventually start failing until windows update fails completely;
- Windows installs, updates install but eventually windows fails to load and enters repair mode claiming startup errors;
- Programs stop working for no apparent reason, some examples: Browsers won't run, file associations disappear (class registration errors), explorer;
- Driver problems with peripherals,
- File system corruption errors;
- I got situations where the computer would get stuck in a reboot/system restore/repair loop
"


Its similiar issues.

That was similiar symptoms to my symptoms what i get before format. And he change ssd and issues are gone.

.

So thats mean i have faulty ssd or not necessary?


Also this is my smart , look and check:

Smart is fine, no errors in memtest86, and i have normal good SSD benchmark scores. Any ideas why i was get problems? Is this related to my SSD or more software cause?

Try run the diagnostics in Samsung Magician. If that turns up any errors then you can return if it's still in warranty.

Have you tried updating the firmware?

Update your firmware. The smart data looks fine. Also make sure you have the latest chipset drivers installed and intel rst. Get them from your motherboard's support page.

Firmware is not updated but i doubt that is issue.

Just try it. Some were known to have firmware issues. You can't come and ask for help then immediately disregard what people are asking you to try just because you doubt that's the problem...

I am on fresh formatted disk and installed Windows 10 in GPT partition . And no issues anymore. But i make topic because i want to be sure that issue before format was caused by ssd or not.

Last question. Now i am really worried.

Somebody said to me about that Automatic Repair.

"The system repair and failures to boot would definitely imply bad drive, though you should do a cursory check of things like cables. For what it's worth I had a 250 GB EVO 850 fail in exactly the same manner a few weeks ago. Dropped in a new 850 pro and all is well."

I am little confused. Maybe it is something with disk like he is describing? ( he get the same sdd like me )
