So a few days ago, I was gaming a bit, and my computer decided to freeze. I did a hard reset since nothing else was working. Since then, windows has not been loading at all, i just get a black screen after POST.

The SSD still shows up in the bios, but has not shown up in the recovery media, or when i tried to reinstall windows. When i tried booting it in another computer, the bios loaded extremely slow, then the computer restarted. I have come to the conclusion that it is dead, but would like to hear some other opinions before RMAing.

The most recent change to my pc was upgrading the GPU. I had some driver issues but that was resolved quickly.

Ryzen 5 1600
AsRock x370 Taichi
Gskill TridentZ RGB 16gb 3200
Gigabyte Radeon r9 280x r1
EVGA SuperNova g3 750w
Radeon r7 240gb SSD
WD Black 1tb HDD

Unfortunately i do not have one of these adapters, i will look in to that

Edit: i did also try loading it in my other pc not as the boot drive, but it failed to show up in explorer or disk management
