Sorry it is a RX480 and monitor is a MSI G27C4M

I have found articles on this but no strait answers on how to fix. if i dont have my AMD radeon software installed i can run my monitor at 1440p. But when i have it installed it removes that option i am using a DP. And i know its not the cable because 2 things one I have tried another one and HDMI as well and also when radeon software is not installed it works just fine. tried older version and this has been a problem from the beginning (about 9 months or so) so its not because of a recent update. any help would be much appreciated getting tires of not using what i paid for XD

So as far as I know there is not really a way to know if a ssd will go out right? (Dumb question I'm sure lol just want to double check I know what I'm talking about)

He is not tech savvy what so ever. He just probably saw a good deal a bought it. Make matters worse he did not have any back ups. But there dose not seem to be anything super inportant that was not in the cloud like quick books and stuff like that.

He jus told me he got it like less the 6 month ago. But it was referbished so maybe the ssd was old?

The thing is he did not defragment it. He optimized it. I saw him do it before (unless he did something different) it literally took like 15 seconds and then stoped.

Side note if it is dead is there anyway to retrieve the key that it had for Windows 10? I don't see a sticker anywhear on it with the key. Also it was a referbished model so no manual.(if it would even have it in there)

So if I check it in another system then it is pretty much 4 sure dead right.

It's gonna be fun trying to explain to him that it just was a coincidence. Lol

Sorry should have been more clear about "optimization" he used the difragmentation and optimization program in widows. And ikr it should have not done anything. I was leaning twards dead SSD as well. But it just seamed so coincidental that he said literally right after he did it it happened. Also here is a pic of the diagnostic error message.

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I'm helping out a family friend with I.T. stuff. I know quite a bit and I'm in school for I.T. he did a optimization of the SSD last night and after he did it it is not showing up in the bios. And of course the bios dell lovingly loaded dose not have many configuration options. I can't find anything online about why this would be I was thinking of making a widows 10 boot usb. So I can check drivers? But I don't know what the next step is. I checked everything physical I used the cords and sata port the optical drive was using (which was being detected just fine) and still no luck. Tryed reseating it too obviously. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do think it will be very interesting to see how this all pans out. I'm personally a pc gamer but I do love my consoles too. The only down fall is that they have been so underpowered in comparison to pc imo. If they made something that could have the simplicity and efficiency of a consol but pack the power of a pc that would be epic. And yes Xbox dose not have many exclusive's but if they where able to pack that much power into it they could very well have exclusives that even low end gaming pc's could not handle much less a ps5. This could open up a new era of console gaming.
