    I still think it's a driver problem and the blue and green screens point towards that, if the SSD was failing the bios might not see the drive or list it wrong.

    It's also rebuilding the cache so I would think the SSD is OK

    These drives aren't new technology so whatever the problem one thing is for sure, Windows 11 should have the drivers built-in. This BS about loading drivers is ancient history, shame on MS.

    There might be drivers / setup in Windows 11 public release, just not in Insider installs, 😊 I haven't looked to see.

    Insider Dev does have some Intel drivers already, but I am unsure if they are for Intel's VMD, you can install the drivers into the ISO. / winre image using DISM.

    I might download a copy of W11 public to see.
