HP Spectre X360 15 inch Model 3f0 Cannot find boot drive

[Raphael-C]

Last week when I turned on my Spectre X360 I was sent to the BIOS with an error message saying 3f0 meaning that It cannot find the SSD and boot into the operating system. After turning the computer on and off multiple times, if finally stopped sending me the message and entered windows 10. I tested the SSD it is only at 5% of its life, only rewriting 5 tb total compared to its 100 tb life. I ran a SMART check and it found no errors, ran a disk check found no errors, I simply do not know why the computer can't find the ssd to boot sometimes. It has never blue screened before. Can anyone help me and find why this is happening?
