How many PCIe lanes does the Acer Swift 3 SF314-54G support?

Hi, i've bought an 128GB SSD NVMe Gen 3 x4(4 lane) from transcend. In the first place there's nothing wrong with this thing, i've been installing it with windows 10 and use it for awhile and restarting my laptop couple times and still functioning. But after a shutdown and i try to boot it up again, it's showing the blue screen of death and showing code INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE then i go to the BIOS setting and the SSD wasn't detected. I try to correct the position of it but it does nothing, try replace it with a new one but still no luck. I was wondering is it PCIe lane issue that this device didn't support for 4 PCIe lane SSD but like i was said that this thing work in the first place, or does my M.2 slot got damage?

No. More likely the nvme SSD has failed. nVME SSDs seem to be more prone to damage than m.2 SATA3s.  Jack E/NJ

m.2 SATA3 cards are more reliable than m.2 NVMe cards in different machines. If you insist on using NVME, Samsung  seems to have the best reputation but are more expensive than Trasnscend.  Jack E/NJ
