No boot media - M.2 drive not bootable

[Corne]

Hello!

So I started my confine this morning and no problems yesterday - but after starting it up again later this morning I was met with a blue screen "apc_index_mismatch".

The PC rebooted itself and then said no boot media available. I tried fixing windows MBR by using the windows USB drive I used when installing windows however nothing works.

I attempted doing an entire fresh install however when selecting the NVMe drive to install I get the following message -
"This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."

I have tried swapping to to legacy support in BIOS, switching off/on CSM and the secure boot too.

I loaded the BIOS default setting to see if something might have changed. But nothing seems to do the trick.

Is the NVMe drive busted perhaps? Any help would be appreciated!

Specs -
Gigabyte x570 Ultra
Ryzen 7 3800x
16GB corsair
NvMe - Gigabye RGB 512 M.2 (the problem)

**I have no other HDD/NVMe drives installed

Do you have a spare SSD you could try instead?

NVMe would be best, though I realise that's unlikely. Failing that, if you can confirm you can boot from a SATA SSD that would be something.
