However, one time, I could see a disk error while trying Ctrl+Alt+F2.
I then found the following:
http://papillon-butineur.blogspot.fr/2012/10/endrequest-io-error-dev-sda-sector.html
where I saw that my SSD disk could just need an firmware update (my
disk is the same as the one described in the link).
I upgraded the SSD disk firmware and since then everything is fine. I
keep my fingers crossed because it may come again but for now,
everything is fine again!
Thanks,
Frédéric
