Question Samsung 980 Pro suddenly stopped working

[drgoldfield]

my brand new NVME Samsung 980 Pro 1TB stopped working after a month. I had Windows installed there, everything worked perfectly until yesterday, and then suddenly nothing worked at all while surfing the Internet. A blue screen from Windows with "Error" came and then my PC rebooted and no longer recognized the NVME as a bootable device. The NVME is still shown to me in the Device Manager (via my other Windows hard drive on the same computer) and in the BIOS it is also shown under NVME but not in the boot menu. In Disk Management it shows me that the disk is not assigned and is not initialized. The NVME had already been updated to the latest firmware with Samsung Magican long before the error and I also rule out a hardware error. If anyone has any ideas about what it was and how I can fix the NVME, then it would be great to share them with me. Thanks

Can you show us the Partitions tab in DMDE?

What did CrystalDiskInfo report for the Critical Warning, Available Spare and Media and Data Integrity Errors attributes?

If forced to reformat/reinstall, you can perhaps try another NVME slot; if problem recurs with that drive suddenly 'insta-corrupting' again, you would then clearly have a 980 Pro issue.

(Assuming CPU/RAM are stable, and not running any sort of ragged edge of stability profiles)
