Hello, Previously I powered off my PC after waking it from sleep and using the power button on the lock screen. Today I turned it back on and Windows stopped working. In BIOS I can see the drive, and moving the M.2 SSD to my partner’s machine causes it to start up correctly, with everything appearing normal. The board is a Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX, using a Crucial CT1000P3PSSD8 running Windows 11. Both devices have been running for roughly three weeks. What might be causing this issue or should I consider returning the product?

The device performs specific actions upon startup. When you power it on and follow the BIOS instructions, using the boot drive as your main choice can lead to a looping situation. It’s puzzling how the same drive functions well in your own system but not consistently in another. The key step is verifying the boot sequence—confirm the drive is listed first. If needed, remove other storage devices to guarantee it remains the sole boot option.

It seems you're referring to a situation where the boot drive isn't properly recognized in another menu. The boot sequence appears blank and non-selectable because the system can't locate a loader, causing it to immediately start in BIOS without saving or exiting.

Certainly! You removed the boot drive, connected it to your partner's unit, and it successfully started up.

No, I didn't update the bios on the motherboard.
