OS windows 10
Ryzen 3700x
Board X570 Taichi
Storage 3X Kingston A2000 1TB

I started having an issue today which I'm not sure what to make of.

I have 3 Kingston A2000 1TB Nvme drives installed on my X570 Taichi. While updating a game the update stopped after about 1GB of installing and the drive was no longer detected in windows file explorer.

- Restarted my computer - the Nvme drive volume was no longer showing in windows.
- Restarted my computer again, checked bios. The drive was no longer showing in the bios.
- Opened up the case, reseated the nvm drives just in case thinking I was going to have to trouble shoot it by trying the non detected drive in different slot. And behold ... All 3 drives detected again

So. installed patch again, and again after about 1Gb of the patching being installed. Drive no longer detected by windows.

-Restarted computer went into bios and yes... Again 3rd nvme drive not detected by the bios.
-Turned my power supply unit off, Turned the PSU back on. Started computer and .... 3rd nvm drive visible again in the bios.

I am not sure what to think of this is this a defective motherboard or a defective drive ?

Any help or insights would be welcome.
