So i bough this laptop with a new ADATA SSD (512 GB) about 2 months ago and it was refurbished (or so the sales man claimed). I installed windows 10 on it, updated windows, installed the drivers and pretty much the basic stuff. I've been using it for mostly studies and video editing and haven't installed any malicious app of sorts.
So from the day I bought the laptop, this has happened twice.
I would shut the laptop down, go to sleep and the next day when i boot the laptop, it won't find any OS to boot even though I tried booting several times and all the basic trouble shootings, nothing worked. I took the laptop back to the shop and voila he somehow fixed it. My mistake, I didn't asked him precisely what had happened. I was suspecting the SSD to be faulty but I ignored it and went on. Now today, it happened again, I started my laptop and boom, no OS to boot. To be exact, it would show the dell logo, then a black screen for a few seconds, then state that "no bootable drive found". I suspected the SSD again so I opened up the laptop (voiding the warranty) and physically checked the SSD and other components and connectors. They all looked fine and the SSD looked new to me. Right now I am trying to install windows 10 on it again, but I am really irritated by this problem and since I have also voided the warranty, I cant go back on refunds.
If anyone has any insight on this, if you think I could solve this issue by replacing some part, please help. Thanks
Specs:
Dell e5450
intel i5-5600
8 gb ram
nVidia 830M GPU
Battery works fine, haven't noticed any voltage spikes or warnings
The charging adapter works but I dont think it's original
