Hi, @vakama112 , If you don’t have a SSD but have a HDD then hopefully it is not your HDD failing. Go to the HDD manufacturer’s website and check if there is diagnostic software available to download to test the HDD If it is the HDD then given you have a fairly new model laptop, it should still be covered by the laptop manufacturer’s warranty Asus ROG Strix GL702VM-BHI7N09 Hard Drive Replacement
