So when you replaced the M.2 did you clone the install, or start fresh?
Wonder if it's not the physical M.2 SSD, but maybe the install of the OS/files
on it...
Did you try wiping the old M.2 SSD before replacing it?
Curious if it turns out to be a SW or HW issue-I think you isolated it down to
the M.2 clearly, but not sure it's been identified as either SW or HW on the
M.2 as a result, right?

Latest update.
I replaced the M.2 SSD on 11/20 and it appears to have solved the issue with my
PC locking up. I have not had it lock up since I replaced the drive. I know,
it could still not be resolved.
But, I want to thank each and everyone of you that tried to help me with my
issue. I really appreciate you taking the time to assist me! And, I ended up
with an extra HDD. Who can't use the extra space. 😊
Thanks,
Bobby

It could be the M.2 SSD. I've only had 1 of those fail before but I'm sure it
can happen just as easily as failure in SATA SSD (1 have 5 dead ones)
