I have a ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming AM4 AMD X470
and my OS is in drive c Aka : XPG SX6000 128GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Internal SSD

i keep getting BSOD randomly and like sometimes my pc wont recognize the drive . ill boot and ask to select the boot drive.

Also i disabled the other 2 storage mechanical drives in bios so only the boot drive is selected in the cycle.

Also my mobo in bios recognizes the drive when i go in there and i can force boot from it.

please help , like ive been building PCs for a bit and fixing windows error and so but i never had this issue ever , please community feel pity on this fool and help me out?
 
Solution
Crucial MX500 M.2 250GB, Samsung 860 Evo M.2 250GB.
Those are SATA M.2 drives, so performance will be limited by sata speeds.

For NVME drives - Samsung PM961 128MB M.2, Samsung 970 Evo M.2 250MB.

I dont remember if i only had the m.2
 
If you had more than one drive connected, then bootloader may have been placed on a different drive (not where OS is installed).
So - when you disable booting from this drive in BIOS, your system will not be able to boot anymore.

Screenshot from Disk Management would tell, if this is your situation.

Edit: All is good there.
