Question OS M.2 suddenly stopped being recognised by Bios

[2000pikapikachu]

Hi,
So i encountered something weird, as I powered my PC off, as usual, yesterday everything was fine. Today when I wanted to power it on, i ran into the windows repairing process. After having an error that it cant do anything, I looked into advanced options, where on every option i ran again into some some kinds of an error.

had a look into the bios which is the only place i could get into, and discovered that my NVME M.2, which has windows on it is not recognized.
I tried a couple of things in the bios as well as plugging in the m2 into another slot, while having all other disks unplugged.

I did also try to upgrading windows but cant do that since it says theres a windows on the pc, but when i choose the other option to install new windows it doesnt find the M2 at all

Idk whats going on tbh, happened so sudden :/
Its very weird for me especially as it worked fine from september, where i got the M2 and installed windows on it

here are my pc specs:
Cpu : Intel i9-9900k
mobo: msi z390 gaming plus
Gpu: msi gtx 1070 ti armor 8gb
Psu: corsair 1000w 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency
RAM: 2x16gb corsair venegance pro 3200mhz
CPU cooler: H150i PRO RGB 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler

M2 Nvme: Gigabyte Aorus RGB 512GB M.2
SSD 1: Samsung 870 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA III SSD
SSD 2: Kingston A400 SSD Internal Solid State Drive 2.5" SATA Rev 3.0, 120GB
HDD 1: Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB HDD

The last thing you can try doing is taking the suspected culprit SSD to a donor system and see if shows up in donor system's BIOS. If it does show up in donor PC's BIOS, perhaps try and see if your motherboard is pending any BIOS updates. If the drive doesn't show up in BIOS for your platform in spite of a BIOS update or on a donor system, then it's very likely that the SSD has conked out.

Its very weird for me especially as it worked fine from september, where i got the M2 and installed windows on it
Electronic devices can and will conk out at any time. Chances of when they'll conk out isn't determined. Too add there are some instances where the device was faulty from the get go, hence why there's a warranty scheme/plan behind each brand new product purchase.

I have done a BIOS update, actually first thing that i did, so thats running up to date.

I will look into the warranty and stuff.
thanks, though any other potential solutions would be nice

So i plugged everything back and got this showing on the M2 slot in the System status in bios

Hi

So my OS m2 stopped working, bios wouldn't recognize it, tried a few things around and got Bios to show that there's PCIe remapping in the first M2 slot.
Can anyone tell me what that means?

Stick to one thread, please!

I can't seem to see Imgur's links at the moment. What BIOS version are you on at the time of writing? With all you've done thus far, did you try and take the afflicted SSD onto a donor system? Not your system mind you. What is your storage controller set to in BIOS? Since you managed to show us a screengrab of that section of the BIOS, can you do the same for your storage devices section?

Im running on the 7B51v1E1 version of the bios

And no i didn't, i don't really have the chance to do that

On the imgur image it just literally says: PCIE device [remapping]

and sorry for not sticking in one thread!
