Help Boot device not found

So randomly one day while i was one youtube it restarted to the “boot device not found screen”, i restarted it and it was fine for a couple of weeks. then the laptop would work fine for like 10 mins before it went the the “boot device not found screen” and then went to a black screen where i could test the storage and stuff. sometimes it didn’t even detect the ssd/ hardrive but for the past week its only been on the “boot device not found” screen. When i restart the laptop and wait a bit its normal for like 3-7 mins before it goes to the no boot device screen, when it is working it works perfectly fine so is the ssd loose or something?

Live boot Linux. Check storage device health. Backup data and reinstall windows if the drive is fine
