I would recommend crystal disk mark & a SMART scan of the boot drive. Sounds like the drive might be on its way out

How would I go about doing a SMART scan of my ssd?

Sorry, realized I messed up on the D drive

C is 93% according to crystaldiskinfo. D is 100% okay, but is running 10C hotter (could just be location in the laptop).

Sorry I remembered the wrong program, crystal disk info was the one.

What does it say under reallocated sectors on Disk C?

#

But yeah, it seems like the drive is fine.

When you say corrupted files you mean Windows is booting weird? Or you mean you open apps / day files & tbey crash or are garbled?

I mean sfc /scannow always brings up corrupted files every month or 2 weeks. Not to mention the other many issues with this "AMD advantage" laptop

Hmm I’m not sure what would cause that. Sounds like a problem with windows, I’d do a clean install instead of trying to fix, personally

What would you say is the best way to do a clean install? Use file history to save files before doing a factory reset?
