Hey everyone, I'm having a really frustrating time with my PC. I can't seem to get two of my four M.2 SSDs to be detected. I've already tried returning them for new ones and even swapped out my motherboard, RAM, and CPU, but the problem keeps happening. I keep getting an error (I'll share a link to the image if needed). On top of that, I've noticed my PC stutters and has audio glitches while gaming randomly, like when playing the Oblivion Remaster. It seems to happen when there are spikes in drive activity as shown in Task Manager. I'm starting to think there's some sort of curse over my setup! Any advice would be super helpful, and I could post a video to show the stuttering if that's useful.

It definitely sounds like you have some complex issues going on. If your SSDs aren’t being detected, it could be a motherboard issue, especially since you’ve already swapped out a lot of parts. Have you tried connecting the SSDs to different M.2 slots? Also, check if your BIOS settings are properly configured for storage. As for the stuttering, that’s often related to disk activity. Make sure your SSD drivers and firmware are up to date.
First off, can you share your PC specs? That might help us figure out what's going wrong. You mentioned you have an RTX 3080 and an i7-12700KF, which are solid components. I’m curious about your SSDs as well, especially the one that’s throwing errors. Sometimes the M.2 slots can be finicky, especially if they share bandwidth with other components. Also, have you checked the drive health and firmware updates on your SSDs?
