3 Components Died in the Last Month

[jeremykk27]

In the last month my M.2 drive, 2 sticks of crucial RAM, and PCI wireless card have all died. My specs are

Mobo: MSI z170a gaming M5
CPU: Intel i7 6700k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport (2x4GB), Kingston Hyperx Fury(2x4GB)
WIFI: TP-Link Archer T6E
PSU: EVGA 850 Gold
M.2: Samsung 950 Pro 256 GB

I have already RMA'd the RAM and WIFI card, but my M.2 drive is my boot drive and has some other files that I'd rather not lose. If anyone has any suggestions on what the issues may be they would be much appreciated.

if the files are really critical and valuable, then a professional data recovery service is what you would probably want to seek out. it's not cheap though.

I would say the motherboard too , I had that exact board and had tons of issues with my hardware and it finally died , my replacement ran flawlessly.

The files aren't that critical. I'd rather fix the problem so the rest of my components won't die.

well, the moderators gave you the most probable answer. motherboard is issue most likely

That's what I was thinking also. I have another year on the standard warranty so I'll call MSI later today and see what they say.
Any replacement boards you would suggest?

You might put a UPS on your system too. You might have to go with a Z70 version not sure Z170s are still out there.
