Most of the time, the disk is failing. Disconnect the disks and you'll be back in BIOS in seconds. I'm guessing you have NVMe clean—use rubber to polish the gold contacts and put it back. If that helps, it should work—right? Otherwise, replace the drive and make sure you've backed up your important files.
Windows is installed on one of the oldest SSD (not NVME) I have, thats true. I'm ready for "exodus" from PC, all important things are backed up.. I will try to deattach it next time it wont boot up. Could it be Windows itself? Havent reinstalled in very long time (I think maybe its even Windows 8.1 updated to 10). If it will be drive failing, may as well reinstal win. Anyway, can it be used as a storage (with a risk of random failure) or its better for PC to just get rid of it?
These tests are straightforward, so feel free to ask your questions. - Is it possible on Windows? +Yes, try entering BIOS to test. If it takes too long, it might be an SSD. - Can I use it for storage? +It depends on how crucial your data is and the drive's condition. For important files, avoid using the SUS drive. To protect health, you can try "Hdd Sentinel," a simple app with a free trial. Just install Portable and send a health-rate SSD. I can provide some details about it, then you can uninstall if needed.
