I've noticed a troubling pattern with my NVMe drive—it keeps throwing a blue screen error about a month after I format it. It first started at the end of last year, and there hasn't been any new software installed; I mostly just use it for basic tasks like Word and spreadsheets. Usually, I get the 'critical process died error,' and it can happen even right on the login screen. I have to format the drive to fix it, but it keeps recurring. I'm worried that my Firecuda 520 NVMe, which I bought in 2023 but had stored unused, might be failing. Has anyone else experienced something like this? How likely is it that this NVMe is on its way out?

Have you confirmed that the drive is really the issue? It’s essential to check whether it’s your primary or secondary drive and what troubleshooting steps you’ve taken so far. You might want to check out if the problems arose after anything specific.
I looked into it, and based on my findings, this kind of error seems to occur often with NVMe drives. I've tried swapping the RAM with similar models, but the issue persisted. I ran recovery commands like bootrec.exe and chkdsk, but it didn't help.
