Hi Guys,
Apologies if this is wrong place/forum but I've always found good advice on here.
I've become rather stumped at an issue I'm having due to a lack of diagnostic data. Wondering whether anyone could confirm my suspicions.
I'm on windows 10 and the issue started with bsod screens last week. I restarted, and there's hardly anything in the event viewer worth while / no memory dump was created.
I've re-installed 10 during the week and the same issues happened, each time the bsod error was slightly different.
I then changed my SSD to run via ACHI (not entirely sure what it was doing in IDE mode) and instead of bsod screens after about 1-2 hours the PC slowly dies. And by this I mean that apps become unresponsive but I'm still able to click the start menu and tab apps, see things moving on screen. Eventually everything freezes.
Thankfully I noticed during this time that the SSD hit 100%. So I turned off the page file and checked whether this would make a difference. It does not.
I've downloaded Crystal Mark etc and run tests and it says the SSD is "healthy" at 96% whatever this means.
I'm fairly sure my SSD is dying but I can't prove it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I don't particularly want to shell out £100 and find out its a memory issue (yes I ran diagnostics on this too and it came back fine).
Any comments, very much appreciated!
