Hi, as said in the title one of my 2 M2 nvme ssds is randomly not detected, neither by the bios nor the disk manager.

This happened randomly overnight, I shut down my PC with everything OK, went to sleep, and the next day my 2nd SSD is nowhere to be found, neither in the BIOS not the disk manager.

I tried :

- Replacing my (supposedly faulty) nvme by another one that I know is working: wasnt detected, even in bios

- Testing my (supposedly faulty) nvme on my laptop: not detected either

And when I finally gave up and put everthing back in place, I started my pc and it finally detected my nvme

I havent touched anything hardware-wise on my pc since a while, it litterally happened overnight

I don't really know what to get from this information, other than a random bad contact happening, I just wanted to get insight from people that know computers better than I do on what should my course of action be if I want to fix this, is my motherboard faulty/dead, do i have to change my nvme, etc...

Specs:
- OS : Windows 10 Pro
- Motherboard : ASRock B450M pro4
- CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core 3593MHz

If you need more details, I'll provide them to you

Thank you in advance for your help

Here is my Speccy snapshot :



As said, it is kinda randomly detected or not detected, so when I booted my PC today, it detected my nvme this time

The Seagate is my 2Tb HDD
Verbatim Vi560 is my supposedly faulty ssd
The Crucial is my main and boot ssd
 
The random part is odd. Maybe updating your BIOS will help. You are about 15 revisions behind.
