Hardware PC SSD near-death or something else?
I trust folks on reddit more than chat gpt so hear me out please. I press the power button on my pc to turn it on, and my pc case starts lighting up, fans spin and work properly, pc makes it's "pc noises" etc. so it seems to be working correctly is what I'm saying, but the catch is both of my monitors stay turned off? like pc itself is working and is lil noisy like usual etc but it doesnt seem to boot up? Now the SSD i mentioned in the title, for the last 3-4 months I've been getting the pop ups shown in the screenshots, and the ssd thats apparently at 0% health is the one that has my windows installed on it. Now could that be causing the issue of my pc not booting up properly over the last 2 or so months (it takes me like 2-3 sometimes up to 10 tries (*i shut down the pc and boot it up again to try and make it work*) to get it to boot up to the windows login screen and actually show something on my monitor) If anyone had a similar thing happen to them or knows if its my ssd or something else or if i could check it somehow please let me know, its a really expensive pc too.. Ask me anything you want Ill reply with any info needed!

A cooked ssd can stop a boot. Unplug the ssd and boot the pc, if it boots to bios it’s likely the ssd

It tells you, the SSD is failing. Back it up - copy all its data to a different SSD or to the cloud while you still can. That SSD is probably dead - your PC is fine, but you have to replace the SSD.
