Samsung 840 pro done for?

I am having an issue with my Samsung 840 pro (512Gb) , like my 830 (256GB) it came over from my old intel rig to my new AMD ryzen rig. The 830 like the champion it always has been is perfectly fine with it all and soldiers on as my OS drive.

The 840 pro has seen a bit more use (100TB written compared to 25TB for my 830), but is now giving trouble, it shows up in the bios and in in windows, even gave it a format and it is running the latest firmware. However it will not accept any instals or run anything. Stuff simply crashes and I get a popup to select what to do with removable media D: Games (name of the drive). I also flashed my MB bios with the latest from ASUS, but that has not fixed anything either.

So is it just a drive that is giving out (Keeping in mind it had zero issues 12 hours ago in my intel system) or is there something else I am missing?

Well problem solved, issue was in the cable, guess the insane angle it had to make caused a break, new cables in and all is fine.
