I BSOD and then rebooted my computer and it got stuck on the bios splash screen. I restarted it again and it loaded up normally. I did SFC /Scannow and it said that some files were corrupted and couldn't be repaired. I wanted to repair my windows install, but after using my computer I BSOD a second time and this time I couldn't get my computer to boot back into Windows. I tried to repair my drive from the troubleshooting menu after not being able to boot into Windows without success. Now my M.2 Drive no longer shows up in BIOS and doesn't seem to be working at all.

Tried:
  • Reseating my M.2
  • Installing Windows on a different drive - M.2 doesn't show up in Disk Management
  • Unplugging other drives and booting computer
  • Installing Windows from USB - M.2 didn't show up as an option to install windows (All other drives were unplugged so there were no install location options)
