Hey Guys -

I recently purchased a new M.2 SSD which I installed via a PCI card as MB didn't have a slot. I cloned my old SATA SSD to it via Macrium Reflect, updated my BIOS so I could boot to it, and all started working.

I use my PC all day and during the day it works great. When not using my PC (at night), I have random issues where the PC goes down (it stays on 24/7.) If I tap the reset button, it says no boot device and cannot see the new SSD. However, if I power off, wait a couple of seconds, then power back on; it works again.

No events are recorded nor dump made during this time as it simply stops. No major processes running when idle plus seems to occur randomly when not using it. Temp is constant and at good level, too. Really odd.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

UPDATE
I was doing some resource intensive things this afternoon and it bluescreened twice. Still same issue as it fails to dump as seemingly it can no longer communicate with C:\. Resetting still shows no boot device but power off, wait 5 sec, then power on and it comes back up.

Suggestions? Thanks
