Hi,

Try to run Apple Diagnostics if it reports something hardware issue.

To look for software issues run EtreCheck and post the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper.


When you run First Aid, run it on the hidden Container. To see the hidden Container you need to click on "View" within Disk Utility and select "Show All Devices" so that the physical drive and Container are shown on the left pane of Disk Utility. Even if First Aid reports everything as "Ok" click on "Show Details" and check to see if there are any unfixed errors. If there are unfixed errors listed, then you will need to erase the whole physical drive and restore from a backup or clone.
