tezza192 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have had a Force 3 SSD in my Dell laptop for about 9 months, this is on the latest 5.03 fw and its been fine. Just recently my laptop just froze and become totally unresponsive, I could restart the machine but again the system froze again. I had to reformat and reinstall the OS (I used secure erase to format) Anyway it seems to be ok now but Im worried that my laptop diagnostic tool is stating that the hard drive self test is failing and ive tried running it 3 times. The exact message is: Hard Drive 0 - self test did not complete Is my drive on the way out? What would you suggest Regards TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 If the laptop diagnostic tool is built-in to the BIOS disable it as it may be referring to S.M.A.R.T. values. Apart from that issue, are there any other problems with the drive? e.g. slow boot/loading times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
