Main ssd not showing in bios and windows not booting up

[raven niche]

is there any way to do the CMOS thingy in laptops?

[crimson tartan]

there is a possibility that ssd has died. happened to my laptop due to long use under high temp

also are u r laptop fans clean?

[regal crater]

Idk i didnt open it up too scared to do so

[crimson tartan]

U should get it to a local shop to get it checked. Fans r very important or ur laptop will die soon without proper ventilation

[silent cedar]

Did you update windows recently?

You could be one of the victims of the new ssd bug

[regal crater]

I see

[regal crater]

My windows was up to date

[silent cedar]

yeah so you could be one of the victims

[crimson tartan]

Put ur hand on air vent and check if air is coming out at high speed

To check fans are ok

[silent cedar]

these solutions are not going to work

first you have to rollback KB5063878

[crimson tartan]

It did in my case bro

This a similar case

But can't say for sad if it's dead

Ssd*

[silent cedar]

Roll this back, check if it fixes anything. Then you have to rule out hardware failure, if you can open the laptop, put the ssd into some other m.2 slot and then power cycle the laptop restoring bios settings to default

If your ssd works, then it could either be an m.2 slot failure or a bios setting issue

Restore ssd to its original slot, if it doesn't work, you have a dead m.2 slot. If it does, no problems.

Another way to check the ssd's health is by putting it in another device

Do it in this order to rule out software issues followed by hardware issues

An SSD can fail because of incorrect voltage or poor connection or overheating

overheating is less likely to be the case because your cpu only supports PCIe gen 3, gen 3 mode will not run as hot as your speeds and link speeds are throttled

[crimson tartan]

Any cpu can run above 90 degree hot if fans ain't working properly

[silent cedar]

its not about the cpu, the cpu will always have active cooling

90-95 is average for gaming laptops under load

[crimson tartan]

Bad temp can cause hardware failure. Is what I was trying to say

Ssd damaged due to overheating

Is a possibility

[regal crater]

I actually thought the issue was with rst drivers malfunctioning

It was so sudden that I couldn't understand what's the issue

I was playing games the day before and it was running without freezes

[crimson tartan]

Try what dr bullah suggested

[regal crater]

Ill try to bootup windows again from a drive and see if it detects ssd

[regal crater]

Dude my laptop had 45 degrees max

I used tools to see the fans spwed and temps

[crimson tartan]

Then we can rule out overheating damage possiblity

Try ssd in a different computer?

[regal crater]

Alr

[regal crater]

Its right under the motherboard

I dotn wanna risk hardware and I'm pretty sure its not hardware related

My windows ain't even booting

[crimson tartan]

Is there CSM option in bios

Disable it and then restart

[regal crater]

I dont have the option

[crimson tartan]

Did u try resetting bios?

Also what r the options in under nvme configuration?

And sata config

[crimson tartan]

Reset bios settings with f9 andtry

[regal crater]

Okay

Also the last time it booted into windows it was a grey screen

[crimson tartan]

Yes faulty drive can cause that

[regal crater]

Ill take it for repair ig

[crimson tartan]

Best of luck

[copper tangle]

@regal crater how many ssds do you have bro?

One?

[raven niche]

@silent cedar has become too 🤓y after his PC building session

[raven niche]

you are not using it for what its meant to do

[regal crater]

Only 1 512gb and a rst 29gb which Is no storage devuc3 for windows or any files

[regal crater]

That's not the case for ssd failure its the bug

[raven niche]

oh i meant if the max you got was 45°, you are not stressing the CPU for money's worth

[copper tangle]

Which one failed? The 512gb with the windows?

[regal crater]

Yes

@regal crater

[grand gulch]

Also try changing the ssd slot

[tawny charm]

Damn scary man... What would anyone do in such cases... Not necessarily about the drive, but the data 🫨

[iron roost]

the thing with this update is, it's a windows fearure update and feature updates cannot be completely uninstalled. 3878 can be temporarily done away with however it will reinstall at a later time

[silent cedar]

I just disable updates with winaero Tweaker
Unless I'm sure an update is stable, i don't bother

I was lucky cuz one of my SSD SN5000 is affected by this update

[iron roost]

yeah same here but hoping for the best

I have a 970 evo plus and so far I haven't faced any issues

Alpha's 990 evo has been affected though

[mint rock]

I have 990 pro and 980 pro, both are running fine without any issues.

[iron roost]

That's good to know. My 970 evo plus hasn't been affected either
