Just built a new computer. As I was installing the OS it froze. Sat at the install screen for hours. I rebooted the computer. Now when I went to install the OS, the installer didn't detect the drive. Went into BIOS, the drive wasn't there either. OK, I figure the drive is just a dud and that's why the install failed. So I go back to the store and exchange it for a new one. This one installs fine. I update drivers, install VSCode,stream, etc. Everything is going great. Set up some games to download on steam and go to bed.
Next morning I go to the computer and nothing comes up. Just a blue screen with nothing on it. NOT a BSOD. Reboot and there is no boot drive. Drive not detected in BIOS.
tl;dr Brand new computer had 2 NVMe drives fail within 24 hours. Besides this the computer is working fine in a live ubuntu.
So did I do something wrong installing everything? In the set up?
Is it possible that I got 2 duds? How likely is that?
Is the motherboard/PSU/CPU somehow killing drives?
Cheap case making a short or something when I press reset?
