Windows 10: SSD Failure

Discus and support SSD Failure in Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware to solve the problem; We took the pc to a local repair place and they found for some really odd reason that the boot order of the drives had changed. So they corrected that... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware' started by swarfega, Nov 1, 2014.

    SSD Failure


    When was the last time you changed the cmos battery? They are only good for about 2 years more or less.
    To my knowledge it has never been changed. Is it easy to get new batteries?

    Be aware of one thing. When you change CMOS battery BIOS will be changed to it's defaults and it will have to be set again. take notes of BIOS settings now or take pictures especially of boot order so you will not have to take it to service again.

    Thanks for the heads up. Also I'll make a note of any info on the battery to make sure I get a compatible one.

    Swar,

    i would install the drive in my own computer and use it for B-U or whatever you want, but i would not use it again and put an OS on it.

    Can well be that the faulted drive had some bad sectors on it as well.

    Have had that with my 2 Foremay Cheetah drives (not at the same time) and it was a sign for definite failure in the months to come.

    Had the same with my OCZ Agility, first there was a OS on it, after failure in anothere computer, but only for B-U purpose.

    Still worked for a few months, but hen it failed again.

    This does not mean that i am right.....

    SSD Failure

    Hi there

    If you have ANOTHER computer simply try plugging in the SSD to a USB port via a USB==>SATA cable -- very cheap -- and see if the SSD can be read. That will tell you simply and easily if the SSD is defective.

    SATA controllers on Mobos don't Break very often (unless you've been forcing cables in the wrong way or something like that).

    As far as CMOS batteries are concerned they should normally last for about the lifetime of the computer --certainly 5 years is not unusual. A sign that the CMOS battery is going is usually when the BIOS doesn't retain settings after a power off (especially the clock time).

    Cheers
