Hi! Suddenly occurred a strange problem a few days ago - my HDD suddenly started to give an error to any attempt to access its files "location is not available - a device which does not exist was specified".
As far I can see all files are inaccessible. Reboot sometimes fixes this problem completely with all files perfectly fine, but not for long - after minutes HDD again became unavailable, without any load before.

Tried to change SATA port - it doesn't change anything.
SMART is ok.
Didn't do anything to the system setup or overclocking in past month, BIOS is latest for MSI 350m pro-vdh. Processor is Ryzen 5600.
Was unable to find relevant information through search in forum or web.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Might want to try and work with another SATA data cable as well another SATA power plug. Speaking of power, what is the make and model of your PSU and it's age?

For the sake of relevance, you're on BIOS version 7A38vAL3(Beta version) ?
