I'm having trouble with my PC not booting into Windows. I can access the BIOS, and both of my SSDs are visible there, but only one of them passes the NVMe test. The SSD with my Windows installation is in the M2_1 slot, and it fails the test. I attempted to install Windows on the second SSD, but the installation keeps failing. I've already updated the BIOS. Here are some specs: Motherboard: MEMGA X570 UNIFY, CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900x, SSDs: Samsung SSD 980 Pro (two of them), RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (x4), GPU: Nvidia 1050 Ti. I've been troubleshooting with some help for a while, but I'm not getting anywhere...

First things first, you should check if the issue is with the SSD or the slot. Disconnect all drives, then connect just one SSD at a time and test it in each NVMe slot. Power down the PC each time you swap to avoid any potential damage. Once you identify which drive or slot is faulty, only keep the working drive connected in a good slot for your Windows installation. Also, during setup, it's best to connect just the system drive to prevent conflicts.
I swapped my SSD with Windows to the M2_2 slot and ran a self-test, but it still failed. Is that what you meant by testing it? So, does that mean my original Windows SSD is toast?
