SSD becomes unresponsive in 30 seconds once it becomes in Use
SSD = Samsung 850 Evo 250g which has Windows 10 OS on it - we shall call it Alpha
HDD - Maxtor 500g which has Windows 8.1 OS on it - we shall call it Beta
This machine/SSD has been build 1 month ago with no issue until 2 days ago.
So my Alpha drive is the main problem. When I boot the PC from Alpha - it will freeze/hang the PC once I arrive at the desktop. I usually have 10-20seconds of able to open programs, internet, folders etc before it stops. Once it stop - I am still able to move the mouse around but do nothing else. I have even waited for it over night and the issue was still going.
So I decided to boot from my Beta drive and the PC is perfectly fine. When I open "My Computer" I see my Alpha drive + my other drives. However the moment I open the Alpha drive - approx 15-30seconds, it becomes unresponsive and freezes. However in Beta - I am able to Ctrl-Alt-Del and force close the window folder that was browsing inside the Alpha drive. Upon force close and refreshing "My Computer". The Alpha drive is gone. I will also see on the bottom right
"Intel Rapid Storage Technology" notifying me it removed the Alpha Drive.
Unfortunately - when I boot into Alpha - I dont have enough time to view the Eventlog, create a bootlog. This also happens in Safe Mode as well.
I also notice - when in Beta - once Alpha disappears and I restart my PC - it does not show up in Bios. Once I am back on my desktop - it does not show up on "My Computer", Device manager, Device Management, Diskpart.
But if I do a shutdown and turn the PC back on and boot back on Beta - It does show up everywhere.
With that said - when booting into Alpha - if I click f12 during boot to pick which boot drive I want to boot in and wait 1 minute before clicking Alpha - it will hang and never reach the log in screen. So I notice, the issue occurs when it is trying to read/have access to the SSD before shuts itself down.
Things I have tried:
* Change Sata Cable
* Change Sata port
* confirm any fastboot is disabled, hibernation/sleep turned off
* unable to use Samsung Magician tool on the SSD
* was able to quickly run and complete a error checking tool on the SSD and it came out clean
I am trying to refrain from formatting the SSD. Thank you in Advance.
