Hi guys,
Ok for the last 3 days it I've been downloading things off steam and they'd always queue after 10 -15%.
First day was downloading Wolfenstein TNO again, I always had to click play so it would update and continue downloading else it would just stay queued, had to do that like 15 times and 3 times when doing that windows crashed
Never once, EVER, since I built my pc have I ever had a crash, even a Windows crash, even with my overclocks, and that's been about 2yrs.
Eventually it downloaded, had 5 corrupt files and downloaded those with the queue thing happening most of the way through.
And today I downloaded Arma2, and had to do the above about 5 times before it downloaded. The games always said 'Download corrupt' while downloading.
I know it's been a long time with this SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250Gb and I have heard they do have a lifespan, so I just need to know if I should start backing things up (SSD used as OS with steam games, documents and all)
Games and stuff have been fine, but I'm kinda paranoid now, main drive dying is a nightmare for us all
And I've searched and all the steam queue errors are more than a year old, so can't be related especially since none of them mention windows crashing
Basically, is my SSD potentially dying?
