Bought a new ssd adata xpg gammix spg 11 pro ssd worked fine for a month after it became so that when you exit sleep, the laptop gives a blue screen of death reboots and the ssd is no longer detected in the bios. Also, after one successful turn on, if you turn off the laptop and turn on the ssd again, it also ceases to be detected resetting bios settings and reinstalling windows didn't help.

    Most of the time a "No Bootable Device" error and issues are because of the boot drive and the actual ADATA M.2 SSD as some SSDs can be not compatible with a laptop, the "No Bootable Device" issues are mostly because of the following:

    • Faulty boot hard disk drive
    • Change Boot Order Assuming the device was atleast detected in the BIOS, it’s most likely that it’s trying to boot from the wrong device. ...
    • Change Boot Mode ...
    • Mark Partition As Active (MBR) ...
    • Repair Boot Sector ...
    • Reinstall Windows ...

    When you change and/or upgrade M.2 or RAM always stick to known brands that Acer uses like and for M.2 SSDs the Samsung, WD, Kingston or SK Hynix drives and you can't go wrong. Don't know what exact laptop model and number you have, but if your laptop came OEM with for example a WD M.2 PCIe 3 x4 drive like the NS530 then upgrade the new drive to an exact WD of a higher capacity and/or speed of either the WD NS550 or their high end NS750 Black or even if your laptop is a PCIe 4 x4 their NS850 black M.2 drive.

    A lot of those 'no name' drives aren't a robust as the name brands. It sounds like the drive is having issues... I'd return it for a refund and get something more reliable.
