Hello, I am getting some boot errors (booting to BIOS, not recognising Windows). I've ran a Short SMART self-test with Samsung Magician and the following errors have come up:

SMART Self-Test,13/08/2024

Model Name,Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1TB

Serial Number,S626NF0R428538Z

Result,Log #1,Option,SHORT

,,Status,Aborted by unknown error ({0}){7}

,,Power on hours,7382

,,Failing LBA,791408

,Log #2,Option,SHORT

,,Status,Aborted by unknown error ({0}){7}

,,Power on hours,7382

,,Failing LBA,791408

Conducting a 'full scan' also comes up with around 15 or so bad 'squares'.

Could this be causing the boot issues? I do have modified setting in the BIOS (overclock ect) but the boot errors persist when switching to optimised defaults. Should I just replace the drive and clone windows over?

Any advice would be welcome :)
