Question My HDD stopped working, but now its working again ?

[willeatpants]

Short version.
One of my storage drives (either its a M2 or SSD) stopped working for no reason, I ended up turning off my PC and went to sleep.
This morning I turned it on and got a BSOD, reset it again. Now its seems to be working fine again. I can access all my drives.

Is this a sign i need to replace SOMETHING on my PC? or should I just check to see if all my SSD connectors are still fine (possible replace the cables with new ones)

Also is there a program I can use to see what in the nani my PC did last night to do that.

Thanks

Are you unsure of which drive stopped working? We're going to need more info as in the specs to your build.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Also is there a program I can use to see what in the nani my PC did last night to do that.
CrystalDisk is one app but your SSD's(depending on their make and model) should have an app of their own to tell you of the drives status/health/failures and if the drive is pending any firmware updates.

If there is anything important on this disk you might want to make a backup just in case it decides to quit.

How do you know it was a storage drive that stopped working?

This morning I turned it on and got a BSOD

That would make me suspect that is your OS drive.

First step is to backup anything important.

I have 3 drives installed in my PC.
OS booted (minus the BSOD)
Storage was accessible
App drive was not showing (PC was only showing C and E drive no D)
ALSO nothing would load that was installed on that drive.
