        That info isn't included in the dump.

        It could be a file on a ram disk, or more common : a file on your 'hard' disk.
        It could be as simple as : no more space or more usual : file system hosed (repair with fsck on boot) up until disk-starts-to-die.

            Yeah that looks like a filesystem issue. You should be able to recover that by manually running fsck -y / a few times (at least 3) from single user mode.

                Easy !

                1 ) if needed, shut down system properly. No power line ripping.
                2) use an UPS and set it up so rule 1 applies when power goes away.

                edit : Your SSD isn't probably physically damaged, only logically.
                Never heard or saw of 'chkdsk' before ?
                Some command line commands are needed to put things in place again, as @stephenw10 mentioned.

                  Yeah I doubt there is a problem with your SSD. The real question is what was causing the filesystem issue. It's almost always because the system lost power during writing the drive.

                    if its not a power issue, would there be a chance of a hardware issue?

                      How, according to you, could we know if something is wrong with your hardware ?

                      Bad sata cables, bad power supplies, all is possible.

                        Yes, it could be something else causing the drive write to fail mid-write. Bad SSD. Bad internal power. Bad cable.
                        I have seen bad SATA cables do some truly weird stuff, I would swap that out first if you have not already.
