Hello all!
I would just like to quickly begin that I absolutely love my Aspire E5-575G and it really is a nice laptop.
The only issue I have with it is that on some occasions...it just won't boot!
On 98/100 boots, the laptop jumps right into Windows and you can really feel that the SSD is doing it's magic. On the other 2/100 boots, I get the image above.
Some things I have noticed---this only seems to happen after the laptop has been sitting for quite some time. If my laptop is in a bag for a week and I take it out to use it, I may get this message. Because of this, I have considered that the laptop may just not have had enough juice to fire up the SSD. To rule this out, I ensured that the laptop was connected to a charger for ~10 minutes before booting, and I still received this error message. I will restart the laptop over and over again until it begins to work correctly. I have no set time frame for how long it takes to go back to normal, it just eventually does.
Another strange item I wanted to mention is that I have seen Windows alert me to errors found on the drive. From my understanding, this was very typical of an HDD but this would be unusual for an SSD. Perhaps I have received a faulty SSD?
My 1 year warranty is up in September so I am unsure of how to proceed. Should I send it in for repairs? I would hate to have to wipe my OS and reinstall all my software for nothing if that is the case. I suspect it could be the motherboard, the connection between the motherboard and the SSD,the SSD itself, or perhaps just a bad image of Windows. All four of those items are a nightmare to troubleshoot.
Any guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
