Be cautious of any external program capable of severely damaging the system to affect the BIOS. No hints suggest low-cost hardware issues. I’d consider connecting via USB to a SATA adapter and plugging in directly. There’s a chance the crash caused data corruption, making recovery difficult. If it’s important, send it to a data recovery specialist.
Removing the faulty SSD resolved the A2 error, likely because the drive was corrupted during a previous crash. You have valuable data stored there. There’s no guarantee you can recover it, but you might consider backing it up elsewhere or using data recovery tools if you’re determined to salvage it. The disk management shows the drive isn’t ready for use, which is expected after such an incident.
