My two year old S400CA has crashed three times, the most recent sends me to the aptio setup utility and nowhere else, trying f9, f3,f2.
My sense is that my hard drive is corrupted in some way and that a reset to the original state, done once already, will eventually lead to the same problem. Other thoughts??
My idea is to buy a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD, which I can get for about $100 rather than buy a new computer. Installation looks hard, but doable. I'm 77 but not, too, shaky.
Is there a better alternative? Can I transfer data from the HDD - even if possibly corrupted? Warnings?
Thanks for any help.
