M.2 help

for context here’s my specs

14900K
Z790 TUF WIFI DDR5
32GB G.SKILL 6000MHZ
TUF 4090
1X 1TB SAMSUNG 990PRO ( C DRIVE )
1X 2TB SAMSUNG 990PRO ( D DRIVE )
CORSAIR SHIFT 1000W

my issue is when my PC is on idle D drive or C drive suddenly missing, i have to power off completely my pc before it shows up again.

things I did to solve the issue

1 - update bios and ME drivers
2 - changed MOBO
3 - clean format
4 - changed SSD’s (both of them)
5 - changed PSU

I’m running out of options here i cant return the CPU and MOBO to change to AMD since i have the PC for almost 10 months

BTW way i’ve tried windows 10 and 11 same issue currently on windows 11 as the time of posting

You might have luck turning off PCIe ASPM in BIOS.
My guess is that the drive is being put to sleep by ASPM and not waking back up when expected.

Might also be helpful to look at the Windows Event Viewer to see if anything else weird happened on the PCIe bus.
