Hello all,
I’m quite bad at computers so would love some support. I have googled this solution for the past week and am still unable to figure this one out.
Earlier last week, both my HDD and SDD gave me Smart errors on boot. So, after losing all my data (though I did have backups) I decided to buy two new SSD’s and do a fresh install of windows.
though they appeared (occationally) in bios, I would get numerous errors and it would not allow me to install. I tried MCT as well as Rufus, and they wouldn’t get through the installation.
At this point I did a trial of Ubuntu to see if my drives were bricked. One appeared with errors, the other did not.
so I bought another ssd. Same problems as before, after numerous cord switches, Sata port changes, and the same trial and error as before - it would also not appear in Ubuntu - now I am getting smart errors for this third ssd.
so my question is, what the heck is going on? Am I bricking my own SSD’s? (The third one was put in a fresh pc and it appeared and was working) and now is smart erroring.
please help.
Cheers
