    SSD just wiped itself clean, gone. on a restart got error 0xc000000e


    unbelievable.
    I was trying to figure out sleep on my 3rd PC, and I got sleep to work! Bios settings, set from s1 to s3, and allow keyboard and mouse to sleep and wake pc bios settings

    Great, was working good, booting, sleep, starting up, everything good.

    Then I recalled last year trying to diagnose sleep I had it set to selective startup, so switched to normal startup, it said had to reboot, said ok, then got the light blue error screen.
    Boot the usb recovery environment, goto command prompt, c: has nothing there
    Tried the repair pc startup, said cant fix it

    This SSD I do have the original spinner drive, I can reclone the system

    Are all the files really gone off the Samsung EVO 860 SSD?

    I can pull the SSD and put in another PC and see if it's blank or no.

    ok, put the SSD into another PC, and all the files are there.
    I was just thinking, what about AHCI versus IDE setting?
    I know the drive was using AHCI in windows, and the bios was set to AHCI, but I suppose could try IDE mode.

    What would have happened when changing selective startup to normal startup, driverwise?

    can this SSD be forced into a safemode boot without windows booting?

    can I do these commands from off a booted usb drive?
    and would it be from x:/. d:/ e:/ ?


    Fix #1: Use Windows 10 Boot Options Menu.


    If your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION BSOD error is caused by a corrupt startup file, you can fix it by accessing Windows 10’s troubleshooting menu. To do this:

    1. Restart your computer three times to launch the Windows 10 Boot Options menu.
    2. Click Troubleshoot > Advanced Options.
    3. Select Command Prompt.
    4. Type in the following command and press Enter after each line:
      • bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
      • bootrec.exe /fixmbr
      • bootrec.exe /fixboot

    5. Restart your computer and check if the error has been fixed.

    We need to see what partitions are on the SSD:

    Code:
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk # <-replace # with the actual number for the SSD

    list part
    list vol
    For example:
    Code:

    So, you have two 500 GB drives, and you are booting in legacy BIOS mode. Which disk are you trying to fix, 0 or 1?

    So, assuming none of the drive letters have changed, I would suggest starting with:

    Code:
    diskpart
    select vol e
    format fs=ntfs quick
    active
    assign letter=e
    exit
    bcdboot F:\Windows /s E: /f BIOS
    exit
    If any of those commands fail, stop and post the failure.

    I solved it using Aomei, fixmbr, method 4

    It is booting now.

    What I want to know if why SSD are so flaky, I have been switching to SSD and have had numerous issues on 3 PC where the disk did something to the data, one SSD I returned, could not even install windows after it died in less than a month

    also WHY could windows recovery environment not fix the drive while Aomei could.

    Boy, that was scary, it went thru a lot of screens, had to click restart diagnosing PC, maybe if you restart it will work kind of screens

    it is back and chkdsk /scan is still showing errors after shutting it down to do a repair.....!

    I am wondering if this drive is defective.

    - - - Updated - - -

    ok, windows on second chkdsk, cleared the errors.
    But still even though samsung magician says drive is genuine-good, it might not be so good.
    I dont think a drive maybe 1 month old should give me so much grief.

    I suspect drive failure. A bad drive component, on the controller board, can cause Chkdsk to terminate with a false insufficient-memory error. I witnessed this myself, IRL. (Maybe a bad sector? But it seems to lean towards the controller board with the incident I had.)

    I am thinking the ssd farted and screwed up some block all by itself, which it then fixes internally all by itself and you will never know. Surface testing always shows all blocks green , drive always says good. Thing is it could have weak blocks that fail, and once their gone locked out internally the drive could be ok the rest of its normal life. or not, you can never know.

    In many decades of PC experience, i have had a handful of spinner drive fails, but in about 2 months of 3 new SSD, 3 of them have had major fails. This drive Evo 860 500gb has been in the PC since early november, and failed.
    Another drive wd blue 500gb completely failed and trying to reinstall windows would hang at 80% on the install, had to buy new drive and return bad drive to amazon.

    My optiplex 755, the Evo 860 500gb drive failed, os no boot 2 weeks ago, and a reclone fixed it.
    It said it had chkdsk errors, so I restarted to let chkdsk repair them, and chkdsk completely trashed the NTFS file system.

    These three ssd pretty much all failed spectacularly to the point of windows becoming inoperable.

    My media center pc with a ssd WD blue 1tb has been great for a year
    My Asus laptop with an NVME ssd WD 1tb has also been great for over a year

    I am losing the idea that ssd are really great drives to have. All they are is very fast.

    And they supposedly do wear out in 5 years, which is something the spinner drives have going for them, longevity and reliability.

    I dont like the idea in 5 years, some of my ssd will be dead.

    I think like this, first drive fail, ok keep eye on it, But the second fail on same drive, get rid of it.

    If you see an error related to Windows corruption reported, the SSD is the first suspect!

    That happened to me with my number two PC, which had a PNY CS900 500 GB SSD, which turned out to be a piece of junk, it also became insanely slow!

    It apparently caused SFC to report corruption after a new update. Despite it looked like Windows Update was fine!
