Welcome to the Dell Community @92rhasnain  If you can make a backup of any data you need?!?!?! Your HDD is failing. https://www5.nohold.net/Dell/ukp.aspx? Best regards, U2

Thanks for your kind response, already backuped the data. Should I have to replace the SSD? And one thing I have used the Hard Disk Sentinel software to check the SSD health but shows the the 100%. I am not able to figure out. What would you suggest?

@92rhasnain

I use Sentinel to DOD erase our drives.

If SSD then corruption could be causing this.

Out of the thousands of SSD's I have tested only a few have turn out to be bad.

Since you have reinstalled the OS and the problem comes back I would think that the SSD could still be failing???

I am not sure what your next step would be???

I would replace the SSD but I have hundreds to choose from at no cost!!!

If you live ln the US I could ship you one for free to test?!?!?!

This system was sold both with 2.5' hard drives and also with 32G SSDs.  If your system has the 32 G SSD, it can't be replaced - it's embedded flash memory soldered to the system board. If you have a 2.5' drive, any standard SATA SSD will work -- if it has the 32 G eMMC SSD, there's no SATA port;  you'll have to replace the system board.
