SSD Problem - Keep losing storage space & failing.
So recently my SSD for my OS has been failing. I mean, it's always had problems on boot where it would sometimes say that theres a disk read error but I just left it as it is.
Now I'm having a serious problem: The C: drive now states that there is hardly any space (can range from 0kb to 20gb). I accessed my Virtual Memory options to see if it was my pagefile.sys that was taking up the space but it says it is not even enabled and that there is no pagefile.sys on my C: drive.
This is strange because I have a 21gb file that I can locate in my Windows folder. What is also strange is the fact that in the Virtual Memory options it states that there is 23gb free in my C: drive yet on "Computer" it states that the C: drive (currently) has 2gb free, but as I said above this changes all the time without me downloading or putting anything onto that drive.
About an hour ago the C: drive went to 0kb and I only noticed because my system told me that I had low space, I tried to chat on Skype to someone and Skype gave me a message saying that it could not work because of an I/O error or something.
I am absolutely baffled at what is happening, I would really appreciate any/all help that can be given.
My assumption is that the SSD isn't installed into my computer properly or something like that, but I am not entirely sure as I'm not the best with regards to hardware knowledge.
Thanks for reading, hope you can help!
