Can you check the Event Viewer and post the screen shot of the BSOD error once? I think your SSD is dying.
Use the ADATA SSD Toolbox software from here aKasperskynd run it to check the SSD Health once. If it shows the same like it shows in Kaspersky, then I think you need to take backup of the SSD and buy a new one.

Yes, SSD seems to be a bad position. But before testing it more, just take backup of your files.
And then confirm if SSD is at fault by looking at SMART test or something. I can think of the software CrystalDiskInfo. You can post a screenshot of that.

My PC crashed a few times last week with a BSOD error.
Do you have the exact BSOD error code?

Also, like others have suggested, check the SMART values of the drive using CrystalDiskInfo on Windows.

Check TBW of your SSD from manufacturer's website & compare it against TBW on your SSD (say if its rated for 100TBW & your SSD crossed 100TBW, manufacturer will say it may not work as intended even if it had warranty). Use Crystaldiskinfo as suggested earlier.

SSD seems to be dying, needs replacement for sure irrespective of if it is the root cause of BSOD.

Likely 160TBW is the TBW limit for the 256GB variant. 90TBW is not dangerous. It might be failing because of something else. Troubleshooting is a pain. Not sure if you can pin the issues on SSD with 100% certainty but can replace it & see if issues are resolved.

Here they are saying problem might be with either RAID controller or PSU or updating windows or upgrading display drivers but in your case the NVME health is too low
Actually Event ID 32768>6008 error is triggered if the computer was shut down forcefully using remote shutdown tool or automatically by a third-party program without the user request.
Did you update your mobos bios to the latest version? If not do it.

Check re-installing Win10 or 11 once but I think since your Mobo supports the below storage configuration its better to go with any NVME SSD like Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD CT1000P3PSSD8 @ 4.8k

  • 1 x M.2 slot (M2_1, Key M)1
    • Supports PCIe 3.0 x4 (1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™/ Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics) or PCIe 3.0 x2 (Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics) and SATA 6Gb/s 2242/ 2260 /2280/ 22110 storage devices
  • 2 x SATA 6Gb/s ports1
  1. PCI_E2, PCI_E3, PCI_E4 and PCI_E5 slots will be unavailable when installing M.2 PCIe SSD in M2_2 slot.
  2. SATA5 and SATA6 ports will be unavailable when installing a M.2 device in M2_1 slot.

If you use main M.2 slot then SATA5 & SATA6 will not work.
If you use 2nd M.2 slot then PCIE2, PCIE3, PCIE4 & PCIE5 slots will not work.
That means main PCIE slot which you use to insert the GPU will work. Okay.

I am using Privazer software to clean and delete every single file through secure deletion... Avoid residual traces of old files remaining in free space.

Could be. Technically such secure delete software work by not only dislocating the pointers for the files but also writing null or zero values over the locations where the files were.

But I used to get even more serious errors like Azure server activation errors: file not found and my PC used to either crash, freeze or restart even while normal browsing. So I combed through reddit, amd & ms forums and did a number of tweaks and disabled the AMDfTPM in bios for all crashes to stop.
In Cyberpunk 2077 its always giving me flatlined after playing for 5 mins also & also in Witcher 3. But while playing Wolfenstein games it didnt crash or restart but froze once. So I stopped playing games altogether and thinking of upgrading my setup to AM5 and a new GPU.

It seems that either yours GPU or PCI-E slot is troublesome.
For Windows 10 OS you dont need to switch off the TPM because Windows 11 24H2 requirement is TPM & Secure Boot to be enabled before installing the OS.
Are you still getting "The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID" error even now? If so just leave it because the errors with yellow triangle symbols are not critical errors. If you are getting red triangle symbols in event viewer then you need to be concerned. Okay.
Regarding getting lags means your GPU or the PCI-E slot problem.Okay.

Finally… Installed again Fresh Windows 10 OS.

unable to resolve this issues?
It seems your PSU isn't able to take the load. For me also same happened. I wracked my brains and then somebody from TE told me check OCCT PSU power test and when I did it restarted within 5 mins and after I replaced it with a new PSU and did the same test , it ran without restarting.
Later I think because of either AMD or MS not giving support for older AM4 hardware for problems that arose my PC used to freeze and give BSODs so I tried to eliminate one problem at a time. While playing Cyberpunk or Witcher 3 it flatlines and tells me to send diagnostic data to AMD. So I again searched through AMD & MS forums and found that AMDfTPM is causing problems which AMD or MS should have solved the problem by giving an update but they did not since its EOL platform. So now I stopped playing games and am only browsing forums or reddit likewise and now those flatlining stopped.
I am in the process of moving into another new platform. So keeping my fingers crossed.
Did you check the SSD also once. I read somewhere that updating the SSD software solved the crashing to some. I mean like Kingston Fury Renegade NVME SSD and Patriot Viper NVME SSD. So check also this once. Okay.

Yesterday again… My PC is unable to log in to the Windows 10 OS.

I check in Bios… All disks are shown properly.

When I reboot and select the Windows installation disk while pressing F11.

Unable to log in, the system restarts again or sometimes shows a BSOD.

I tried to repair the Windows OS and system restore… Nothing worked.

Finally… Installed again Fresh Windows 10 OS.

unable to resolve this issues?

Again, the next day, same issues... After PC restart...OS is corrupt or cannot log in to the Windows 10 OS.

As usual, all drives are shown in BIOS.

Resetting the PC with the Select Remove Everything option downloads a fresh copy of Windows from the cloud.

I do some modification as per the attached file.

The problem should be in corrupt OS or SSD or hardware like mobo or PSU.
Did you download a fresh OS using a USB pen drive?

I have not read the entire thread. Am just referring to the above post.

Windows 11 (though not documented) actually has MBR bootloader and it can boot in Legacy (CSM) mode!
However to my knowledge (Though I have never tested it myself) 'NVMe drives + Windows' require UEFI for booting.

So if at all you want Windows 11 in Legacy mode, Rufus can still create the USB key for you, but you would mostly need a SATA drive.
Try creating BIOS Legacy bootable Windows 11 USB key using Rufus and see if it works with NVMe in CSM Mode. Else try a SATA drive.
For legacy mode, drive should be initialized as MBR not GPT (If it was already initialized to GPT, you need to change it to MBR)

B550 doesn't support 2000 series CPU, same goes for A520 as well. At least not officially.

Check CPU compatibility of the board you're eyeing from the manufacturers site. Though there are users claim that they are using 2000 series Ryzen with B550. You're already facing tonne load of issues, you don't wanna do a trial and error in this new purchase.

The board makers site. Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Asrock.
Again don't like go with MSI
other than MSI... Which one is preferable...also good after sales service

Personally I have used Asus and MSI both worked/works fine. And I don't have first hand experience wrt after sales/service of motherboard, what I can give you is my opinion (which differs person to person) based on the things I read online. It's mostly mixed regardless of brand, but personally I would rate Asus>Gigabyte>MSI>Asrock.

At this point you may not have the luxury of picking brands, you gotta go with what's available.

Hmmm, GB B450M K and Asus Prime seems to be around same tier.

@Everyone, GB B450M K and Asus prime series are safe choice?

GB is fine, if you can add little bit more money then GB DS3H is decent mobo.

They eventually fixed my motherboard more than a week later.

They switched to a different version of the BIOS because they claimed it was corrupt.

I looked at the BIOS. It's the same version... A few months ago, I received an update

A few days later, the computer is operating without any issues. No problems.
