Booting Issues

[GubbinGameDev]

Every so often when I turn my pc on it goes to the american megatrends page. Everytime it says the same things, "WARNING: Please back-up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent and cause unpredictable fail."

I use a Cruicial 500gb M.2 SSD, not a hard drive. Nothing Has happened to my SSD yet. How do I solve the issue?

Do you have any other drives plugged in?

I have no other drives plugged in, the only drive is the ssd.

Use something like CystalDiskInfo to see if any drive health issues pop up.

 

How old is the drive? If it's not that old it's probably just a fluke with how the motherboard is reading the drive health status. You might be able to just disable SMART reporting for that drive in the BIOS. Not sure if that will prevent it, but would be worth a try AFTER you verify there isn't actually a drive health issue.

 

Looks like something more common like HWinfo64 will also show drive SMART status.

Crystal Disk info says my drive is completely healthy. I will try my best to disable smart reporting (I have no idea how to do that)
