Windows 10: SSD just wiped itself clean, gone. on a restart got error 0xc000000e

unbelievable.
I was trying to figure out sleep on my 3rd PC, and I got sleep to work! Bios settings, set from s1 to s3, and allow keyboard and mouse to sleep and wake pc bios settings

Great, was working good, booting, sleep, starting up, everything good.

Then I recalled last year trying to diagnose sleep I had it set to selective startup, so switched to normal startup, it said had to reboot, said ok, then got the light blue error screen.
Boot the usb recovery environment, goto command prompt, c: has nothing there
Tried the repair pc startup, said cant fix it

This SSD I do have the original spinner drive, I can reclone the system

Are all the files really gone off the Samsung EVO 860 SSD?

- - - Updated - - -

I can pull the SSD and put in another PC and see if it's blank or no.

ok, put the SSD into another PC, and all the files are there.
I was just thinking, what about AHCI versus IDE setting?
I know the drive was using AHCI in windows, and the bios was set to AHCI, but I suppose could try IDE mode.

What would have happened when changing selective startup to normal startup, driverwise?

can this SSD be forced into a safemode boot without windows booting?

can I do these commands from off a booted usb drive?
and would it be from x:/. d:/ e:/ ?


Fix #1: Use Windows 10 Boot Options Menu.

If your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION BSOD error is caused by a corrupt startup file, you can fix it by accessing Windows 10s troubleshooting menu. To do this:

1. Restart your computer three times to launch the Windows 10 Boot Options menu.
2. Click Troubleshoot > Advanced Options.
3. Select Command Prompt.
4. Type in the following command and press Enter after each line:
   • bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
   • bootrec.exe /fixmbr
   • bootrec.exe /fixboot
5. Restart your computer and check if the error has been fixed.

how can this boot corrupt config be fixed?
I have the drive in a different PCStartup Repair diagnosis and repair log Code:

I am running the samsung magician long test to check the drive. I have until end of January 2021 to return it to Amazon. I also dont like what it did, looking at the error message
"was not able to send command for self-healing due to lack of memory."
not finding any definitive posts saying it is bad, just that it might be bad.
I may send it back just on fear of it dying after the return window closes.

The long test is taking a very long time to finish, at 2 hours right now, and not half finished yet. Still no 'red' blocks appearing, which supposedly means bad blocks.

I decided to return SSD to Amazon and ordered new one (exact same) which will be here Monday.
The new one price has risen 2 dollars.

The long test still is not finished at over 3 hours
I bought this drive Nov 8, 2020
And you know a technician could look at this drive and say nothing is wrong with it, not knowing the history of what happened.
Its like the drives firmware covers up errors by hiding bad blocks (I think), and no one can tell what happened.

I solved it using Aomei, fixmbr, method 4

It is booting now.

What I want to know if why SSD are so flaky, I have been switching to SSD and have had numerous issues on 3 PC where the disk did something to the data, one SSD I returned, could not even install windows after it died in less than a month

also WHY could windows recovery environment not fix the drive while Aomei could.

I ran a chkdsk, apparently now showing errors

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /scan
The type of the file system is NTFS.


Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure ...
Found 0x23 clusters allocated to file "<0x41,0x3b5e1>" at offset "0" marked as free
was not able to send command for self-healing due to lack of memory.


C:\Windows\system32>

Boy, that was scary, it went thru a lot of screens, had to click restart diagnosing PC, maybe if you restart it will work kind of screens

it is back and chkdsk /scan is still showing errors after shutting it down to do a repair.....!

I am wondering if this drive is defective.

- - - Updated - - -

ok, windows on second chkdsk, cleared the errors.
But still even though samsung magician says drive is genuine-good, it might not be so good.
I dont think a drive maybe 1 month old should give me so much grief.
