Hey guys, I just want your opinion about this before I jump to conclusions. My Windows MBR gets corrupt almost every time I boot up, even though the bluescreen states winload.exe cant be found. In order to repair this, I need a windows USB every time to repair the MBR since it won't go to auto repair or repair setup. So far my bios is up to date, SSD firmware up to date, windows reinstall with USB, diagnostics have passed with the nvme ssd. 
Do you think it was just a false negative with the m.2 or something else?

Try running a Linux live CD if you can, I've had bad RAM do this same thing before, tore my hair out for a whole weekend before I figured it out. If it is a bad memory module you won't even be able to get into LInux.

If it was memory related I wouldn't expect fixing the MBR would let me boot into windows. Since once I run those commands it's fine until I shut down  unless if its just one of those weird things that masking it

RAM can cause a lot of weird issues that you wouldn't expect. But I see what you're saying about how fixing the MBR shouldn't let you into Windows if it was a RAM issue. But it's not doing it now? Imma go with you and say false positive on the SSD, or just corrupted data in Windows causing the issue every time.

Yeah, I was thinking it was probably the sector or something, where the MBR is at is dying out. I have an Adata SSD, i never really liked them anyway and there is a good deal for a Samsung Evo 970 for $180
