Hello there! I recently built my first pc and am having abit of trouble with my M.2 SSD. Whenever I boot my pc up for the first time during the day or after a few hours of having it off it never detects my SSD. If I shut it off and restart it continues this trend. However, if I unplug the system and loosen/tighten the drive and restart it suddenly detects it again. Needless to say, this is getting quite frustrating having to open the case and mess with it every time i boot up. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The SSD is an ADATA XPG SX6000 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME and my motherboard is an MSI 570X-A PRO.

Welcome to the forums!

We will need a little more information. List your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: include OS version

and include the age of your PSU. Are you on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard? Also might want to see if the issue persists when breadboarded. Its possible that you might be suffering from a grounding issue when inside the case.
