SSD failure?

[Natanael]

Hi, after 3 hours cable managing my computer wires which included unplugging everything and plugging them back, my Windows decided to corrupt after switching the PC back o or so I thought. The PC was booting till the motherboard logo and then loose video signal after a few seconds. I got the repair screen a couple of times, tried to do the Startup repair but it always failed giving me the SrtTrail.txt log error. I formatted the SSD and reinstalled Windows only to loose video signal again after I tried to copy a large file onto my SSD. This led me to believe that the SSD is failing so to test it out I connected it as an external drive to my laptop and tried to copy a large file which it did successfully. Do you guys have any idea what's going on?

You should try connecting the faulty SSD to another sata port. Maybe the port is the issue.

Also check if the power cable connector is placed well into the SSD's connector.

Yes, also how old is the SSD? Depending on age the drive could begin to do some funny business.

I tried a different sata connector and still same problem. The SSD is about 4-5 years old, its a Samsung 840 EVO.
