SSD suddenly fails?

Zyfnix
Level 7
Okay, so i've got this strange problem with my ssd. Everything was working perfectly fine until yesterday, my pc would not boot into windows, it would just sit there "Starting Windows" with the HDD activity led continuously on, not flashing, but nothing happened and it also start freezing during post.
My first thought it might be a corrupt boot issue. so the next thing i did was trying to repair it with my Windows disk, bad luck! Still the same issue...
Oke that didn't work as well, tried using last working configuration, That didn't help either.
So i used my last option, a fresh windows install. Guess what? Still the same problem!
I'm starting to think my ssd is failing at this point, but to be sure i unplugged it and connected to my old pc, did a fresh Windows install here and yeah... works perfectly fine, no errors or boot issues.
Next thing i did was plugging in a different HDD to check if there might be a faulty motherboard port, did that and it worked flawlessly. So i'm running out of ideas here... also note that no driver or bios option was changed when it was running.

I would appreciate it if somebody would help me figuring this out.
