Last week, I reported1 that my computer froze three times one day. I ran some diagnostics and repair tools that seemed to allieviate the symptoms, or at least improve matters, but each day the computer would freeze. Fortunately no work was lost at any stage; one time I was writing a blog when the computer froze, but when I got back to work, the blog text had been saved upto and including the last word that I had typed. The wireless network link had also disappeared, meaning that I couldn't use the computer even if I wanted to. I completed the blog on my second computer, the one that I have from work. In some respects, this is a better computer - at least, it's never given me any hardware problems - but its screen is smaller and it has no separate numerical keyboard.
At some stage I remembered that the SSD disk had been replaced on the computer several months ago after a similar attack of freezing; could it be that the replacement disk had also been damaged? I backed up various directories to an external hard disk, turned off the computer then took it to my repairman.
Yes, once again, the SSD disk has had to be replaced. I now have a collection of old disks, although I have no idea what I will do with them, or to them. After all, there is some sensitive data on the disks so maybe I should try and destroy them at some stage.
