Question NVME not showing up in windows and bios

[themadlieut]

hi, after 10 minutes or so after boot i went checking steam downloads (witch was on the disk) and everything was blocked, i tried to kill and restart steam but it wouldn't close, even task manager got stuck, so i tried to reboot via windows...and nothing...after 10-15 minutes i forced it...at splash screen pc reboot on its own, then it did a second time (this time reaching the mobo splash with dots pre w10 login) and after that it finally loaded windows...and the disk was gone...

i checked disk management - nothing
reinstalled magician - nothing
crystaldiskinfo - nothing
tried to update firmware - doesn't work
checked disks in bios - nothing there

it does show up as hidden peripherals in system but it says it's not connected

this is not the first time i have issues with a nvme

Question - NVMe Samsung 970 EVO Plus suddenly disappeared from windows and bios

hi, after turning the pc on today i had a bsod 2 minutes in, after the integrity checks pc rebooted and loaded the secondary SO that is on another disk, so i rebooted and checked bios to set back again to the NVMe (wich is the one with windows 10 on it) but it doesn't show up at all it's a new...

forums.tomshardware.com

at the time i simply replaced it after trying everything, the current one is around 3 months old, the only positive thing is that this time i didn't use it as system disk...so...what's the deal? another dead disk? it's worth noting 2 power outage occurred this past week, as i read that might mess up with the controllers

any suggestion?

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.

Apart from your BIOS maybe needing an update, I'm leaning into your PSU maybe causing your drive to conk out.

update: today the pc started rebooting randomly, once i was watching a video, second time browsing and third literally nothing as it was at the dsktop with only programs on startup running, so i decided to try and remove the nvme in case that was causing the issue and now pc has been running for 7 hours or so without rebooting, i guess the problem is physical and it's either the disk or connectors on the mobo, but i don't have any way to check without an additional purchase...i guess i'll either try to get a replacement or go without it
