Strange issues with Crucial drives has led me to start using some of Samsung drives but they are a bit more expensive. I imagine if I switch back to Dell’s drier and it works fine then it was still something on the drive.

I may play around with the drivers a bit more to see if that was truly the cause or if simply re-cloning the OS back is what solved it. So I did that, and then cloned the HDD back to the SSD, installed in the computer, and everything works the way it should now.

The chat person and I tried a few things, and his final suggestion to me was to try the default microsoft sata driver instead of the Dell driver.Ĭrucial has an article about the process of changing to the default driver here which is quite easy and not something I ever thought about trying – but is definitely in my list of things to try from now on, although I admit I don’t like the idea of using standard driver when Dell usually keeps up with that stuff on newer models like the one I have. So after waiting since Monday for a reply from Crucial I opened a chat with them (I can’t blame them on the wait time due to COVID-19 they have closed their call centers so the wait time is fine). The SSD was 2 yrs, 9 months, into a 3-year warranty, and with no further questions Crucial honored their warranty and shipped me a new drive. It was a bit disconcerting because the Crucial utility insisted the drive was in “Good Health” and there were no suspicious signs in the SMART data, but it still failed the self-tests. I downloaded Crucial’s Storage Executive utility and ran both the short and extended self-tests to get a second opinion, and to get screenshots of it failing with their own program to send to Crucial tech support. I ran the laptop’s onboard diagnostics drive self-test, and it failed. My symptoms were different, and involved the computer randomly hanging or having a lot of trouble opening files or programs. I just had a problem with a 500GB Crucial SSD last month. What were the results of the short self-test and the extended self-test? Since you talked to Crucial support, I imagine they had you test it with the Crucial Storage Executive utility. It sounds like you’ve done the proper tests to implicate the SSD as the culprit.

I have been using Crucial SSD drives for years now and this is honestly the first problem I have had in a long time with them (not since Windows 7 – and I stopped using that about 5 years ago).
Would some failure in the SSD power connection cause the entire computer to just completely power down suddenly without any input from the user? Has anyone else ever ran into any issue like this before? If so, is there a solution or is the drive pretty much a dud at this point? Always use wrist strap to prevent any ESD and always use caution about that kind of stuff. The SSD drive is 2 years old and only has had about 5 terabytes written to it (it came out of my previous laptop -but I purchased the SSD through Amazon). I have reached out to Crucial who, in the past several days (excluding the weekend of course) has had me do all kinds of things and asked for screenshots, etc… I think they are as confused about this as I am.
I can only reproduce this issue on a computer where I use this SSD as the OS drive.Īt this point would I be reasonable to assume the SSD has some kind of issue? on a whim I installed the SSD in my wife’s computer (She’s a good sport), and it had the exact same problem. I checked the power options and disabled all the sleep and turning screen off settings.

There was not much on the drive since I only use this laptop for basic things (my office PC is a custom build).Īfter doing all of this, I still got the same issue (wondering at this point how I was able to even get windows installed).

Re-installed SSD, Backed it up, wiped it, and did clean Windows 10 install, updated drivers (bios already updated from last time). Computer worked fine without any issues and stayed powered on for 9 hours. Tested thermals with HW montior and other tools and did ram test with memcheck86 so it wasn’t a RAM issue.ĭisconnected speakers, DVD drive, and wireless card – still same issue.ĭug out the barely used HDD and installed fresh Windows 10, updated drivers and bios. After about 20min computer just shuts off. My wife’s laptop is the same exact model and so I swapped power cords, battery, and RAM and still had same issue. One of my laptops started shutting completely off on its own unexpectedly after months of having no issues.
