Hey everyone! I was in the middle of playing Borderlands 3 when my PC suddenly blue-screened and attempted to reboot, but it only made it to the BIOS and couldn't recognize my boot drive. After trying to reboot a few times and letting it cool down, I managed to get it running again, but I'm really concerned about the SSD. I've tested my CPU, GPU, and RAM with various stress tests, and they all worked fine without any issues. However, my system crashes every time I run CrystalDiskMark, leading to an unexpected reboot. The SMART data doesn't seem alarming, and I've run chkdsk, TRIM, and Optimizations without finding any errors. What other reasons could there be for this crashing issue?

What you're experiencing is pretty common with SSD failures. It sounds like your drive might be on its way out. Have you tried reseating the SSD in its slot? Sometimes, a loose connection can cause issues. But more often than not, if it's showing these symptoms, it’s likely defective.
I noticed you linked a SMART report. Instead of just looking at the raw numbers, try to check if the report indicates a Pass/Fail status. That could give you more insight into the health of your SSD.
