I have chased this wild goose for quite a while to no avail. Initially I assumed my ssd was dying. I began to slowly lose access to different parts of my computer. First, one user account, then another. Eventually, I could only boot in safe mode. I removed my important data, and decided to use the "Reset My PC" option in windows 10. It failed to reset my PC. It said, something went wrong.

I replaced my boot drive and created new windows 10 boot media using the window media creation tool. I completed a fresh install of windows 10 on a brand new Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD. The computer runs terribly.

As for symptoms that I have been able to track down. On the task manager, my SSD appears to be railed at 100% activity while my cpu sits idle at 1-2%.

Are there any software tools out there that will help me diagnose which part of my PC is dying?

Build Specs:
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
CPU: AMD 6300
RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance
GPU: EVGA GTX 560
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB
 
Thanks, Count Mike. Unfortunately, I have tried to install various drivers, Graphics driver, ASUS PC diagnostic tool. And a few other drivers. Every installation has failed. I also tried to install chrome, the installation failed though.
