Question M.2 suddenly not being recognized

[Isaac Zackary]

MOBO: Gigabyte H610M S2H DDR4 (Rev 1.3)
STORAGE: Samsung 970 EVO MZ-V7E2T0 2TB
CPU: Intel Core i5-12400T w/ integrated graphics
RAM: Crucial 8GB Single DDR4 3200 MT/s CT8G4DFS832A
PSU: SilverStone SST-TX300 300 W TFX

I will try reseating the M.2 but I don't understand why it worked for 3 weeks and then all of a sudden quit. I says that the M.2 drive is there but is N/A in the BIOS.

As mentioned in my post in System I've had problems with this computer from the start and have been troubleshooting and replacing parts left and right due to a freezing problem since November. Well, it seemed to go away once I replaced the CPU, but now this.

I'm very frusterated at this point and so am asking if it would be better to just return everything on this computer and go back to my 2011 computer that was working ok except a very occasional crash problem.

Update:
I took the M.2 drive out and reseated it (or reinstalled it physically) and the computer then started right back up.

Still, this is nerveracking as I'm afraid this computer is going to blow up or something at some point. But hopefully it keeps working!
