I have been having a lot of problems with my NVMe drive recently. Sometimes when I am using it, the drive crashes with the stop code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and then promptly disappears from my bios when I open up boot menu. It takes a few power cycles for it to reappear. The drive in question is a Samsung EVO 970 1TB. I downloaded Samsung Magician but it says it cannot run a diagnostic - whenever I run the benchmark however it crashes a few seconds after I start it. CrystalDiskInfo says my disk is "good". There are no crash dumps for any of the blue screens. Recently I have also been getting a severe amount of crashes and it will also sometimes bring me to the screen where it says my boot manager is having an unexpected I/O error. It sounds like I just need a new drive, am I right on this assumption? Thanks.

I would suspect the drive is failing no matter what Crystal disk info says tbh.

where did the ISO come from and how was the install media created?
Was it created on the system that is having the issue?
Did you disconnected the affected drive?
I got windows installed on a separate drive I have and I think I will replace the drive. The problem persists after reseating the nvme drive and it no longer blue screens when the drive fails, it just freezes and stops responding for a second.
The drive’s Health is 97% so should be fine.
Keep us updated on whether the replacement drive works well.
