Question Nvme ssd stops working after game crash.

[AriaPastel]

For WEEKS ive been pulling my hair out with this particular issue.
That issue being that after crashing in a game thats on my F: drive, so not my main drive, That ssd stops being detected. After a restart it comes back as normal.
Ive tried using different slots for the ssd but with no change. Im at a loss...

Sounds like the drive might be failing. How old is it? Try checking it with CrystalDiskInfo.

Its just about 2 years old,
When it happens, i can see in task manager that it spikes to 100% usage during a 3 second crash before it stops detecting.

"edit: cant post images for whatever reason, fun, but theres nothing standing out"
