teep_ 03/02/21 4:50:30 AM #1:	Booted up my PC this morning and while it posted, the OS wouldn't load. Originally it was a "boot volume" error, afterwards it wouldn't even go into windows. The BIOS won't see the drive either Tried a new SATA cable and a new SATA port, both didn't help I bought the SSD in January 2020, so I'm surprised it went so quickly. It was a decent company too (Crucial) --- teep dumb as f*** fr - BatmanVonDoom I'm gonna pound a 400 lb woman just to prove teep wrong - NigerianKnight <cite>teep_ posted [p:951244785] in I think my...
