SSD Failure After Windows Update

I've been using my Kingston SSD for 3 years now, just put it into a new system a few days ago but after doing some windows updates, it blue screened and now fails to boot into Windows.

 

I did a fresh install of Windows three days ago. When turning the PC on, the motherboard startup screen shows, then the black screen with the flashing underscore shows but thats as far as it gets. Spamming F8 to try and get into startup repair does nothing but the drive is still detected in the BIOS and boot menu.

 

Any suggestions would be great. I've had many problems with this drive in the past, has it finally failed?
