Hi, wasn’t sure where to ask , my last non laptop was a pentium 75. Friend bring this monster over. Apperantly there is a Samsung drive somewhere that would need to be changed. Mostly because no one can figure out where the issue is an just hoping its the drive. Feeling stupid trying to figure out where it is 😃. Issue is bootloops randomly. Drive have been formatted before with a little change to the better for a while. I was gonna say software issue but thats not it ive been told. All temps normal. All i can see is the kingston and i dont want to remove anything i dont have to. Checked connections, taking another look at the rams also . Any ideas? Both for where the drive is hiding and guesses where the issue origins from thanks

    You don’t seem to have anything plugged onto SATA, which means the Kingston is your only drive (feel free to correct me wrong, but from that angle it doesn’t show another connection).

    If the case has a seperate storage rack, check there to see if there’s another storage unit, like a samsung ssd. If not, it likely uses the Kingston M2 SSD as its only storage.

    Maybe boot a live OS like GParted from USB and do smart tests to see if the SSD is faulty.
