Computer crashes and won't recognize drives.

[Shadic_]

My computer has been doing this thing where any youtube videos stop playing, I can't right click anything, and stuff refuses to load, then windows crashes, and won't recognize my boot drive (SSD) or storage drive (HDD) (but does recognize my optical drive) until it is fully powered down and rebooted. Pressing "restart" doesn't work. BlueScreenView isn't showing anything, and the BSOD happens so fast I usually can't read the error message. Sometimes it happens immediately on boot, sometimes after 8 hours of use. Specs.

Although both drives don't show up, not just the SSD. CrystalDiskInfo shows it's fine as well. Are you sure that's the problem?

I am fairly sure because that normally doesn't happen maybe try them in a different system because it may be the motherboard. Have you made any recent hardware changes or even just moving any wires around?

I haven't made any hardware changes or anything, and I don't know exactly what causes it (or have any other system to test it in) so I can't test it.
