Windows not booting after bluescreen

[marsh dome]

Good evening,

I was downloading Unreal Engine 5 and while installing my pc bluescreened, i dont know why. It said KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR.

I let it restart and it directly put me into BIOS. I clicked on the Discard changes and exit button. Kicked me back into BIOS. Tried again. Same result. Loaded default settings. Same result. Checked boot device. I only have one 2TB Samsung m.2. Tried booting from it in the boot device menu. Same result. No windows screen, nothing. It just seems like my m.2 died??

(Yes i unplugged it a couple times and left it unplugged for some time)

Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X
i7 12700k
RTX 3080
32GB Corsair RAM

Try clearing your CMOS and reseating the M.2

If the result stays the same, it's most likely the drive itself.

You can try confirming in another system, but after that there's not much that can be done.

To clear my CMOS i can just take out the battery right?
