I think the PC crash probably puts SSD into a safe state, as I had a similar issue with an Intel SSD once. But turning PC off completely as wall socket meant it booted fine when used later.

You might as well try a clean install just to rule out software issue, and don't activate Windows until you're sure issue is resolved. So if you have to get a replacement SSD you won't have activated Windows multiple times very close to each other and need to use automated telephone activation.

Have you also checked motherboard firmware is updated too? And SATA cable hasn't been loosened during your multiple cable unplugging.

Worth checking how well Kingston support their drives, e.g. when was last firmware released. Also be aware of their NAND switch, so old reviews when SSD first came out might indicate better performance than the same model you buy today.
