[SOLVED] M.2 ssd problem?..

[tappedxd]

Hey,
for the past few days I have been searching online for solutions on why my PC wont boot and only goes to BIOS, but every thread I found was solved by buying new ssd, so I came here to seek help.

Basically, few days ago I normally shut down the PC and went to sleep, but the next morning I turned it back on it went straight to BIOS. In BIOS it reads the ssd normally, but shows 0gb of space. Firstly i tried reseating, that solved the problem for a day. Next day the same thing happened but reseating didnt work anymore.

I tried: ssd on different PC and it works, reseated CPU, checked for bent pins on CPU, cleared CMOS, reinstalled windows, formatted the M2, reseated ram, reseated gpu, safe mode on/off, BIOS flash

When I reinstalled windows, firstly the disk wasnt there, but appeared again after reseating. Also what i noticed is that it was fairly hot when reseating. Before screwing it down it was cold, but when i bent it so i can screw it, it started to warm up.

MOBO is new, RAM is fairly new, PSU is new

Best part is that i am now writing this thread from the pc, when it randomly decided to start, but tomorrow it wont again so i am asking for help.



Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600

I think that board has 2 M.2 ports.

Have you tried the other one?

Yes, it has 2 ports, but both work. Once it boots in the first port, the other time in the secont port.

Clear signs of a faulty SSD.
RMA and replace.

You could try forcing M.2 slot into PCIE 3.0 mode and see, if that changes anything.
But I still think, it's a faulty SSD.

Didnt do anything, still not booting. It has to be something else than the ssd, since it works on a different pc without problem.

Tried second SSD, same brand, same size, same everything, it in fact died. You were right.
