Recently, when working and saving to an internal m.2 DATA drive (D) my machine will hang. Most times when I try to reboot it hangs. Shutting down and restarting again. it usually halts with the message of a bad shutdown and suggests going into the BIOS. I go in, then exit, and the machine again starts normally. However, I notice sometimes problems with accessing the D drive. (no problems with other disks) I'm now trying to copy the files on this disk to an external backup. I can do it for a while, but often if I try to copy a large amount the copy function hangs the D drive becomes inaccessible and Explorer hangs. However, I can keep workings on other things. Could this be a Heat problem? The machine runs usually is running between 50-70c degrees.
I feel like this copying problem is an intermittent D drive, the same when Startup trying to access it and failing. Usually, If I shut down and walk away for a good while, when I start again it works till explorer hangs with a file transfer to D. Assuming I'm right, could this be some sort of corruption and a Windows format of the drive would salvage it? Or is this a deteriorating drive that should be replaced? I haven't gone into this machine (or any other) since I built it a couple yeas ago, and with liquid cooling I'm loathe to disassemble it again. Of course, If that's the only option...
