This is to update... Following to removing the bad memory, I installed windows and all the other software, I used the PC heavily and no restart or switch off for 3 days, so far works perfectly. Apparently, the issue was because of the bad memory. Thanks for the help.

Yes, I know, but will it reproduce the same effect everytime??? More than 5 times in two weeks the boot drive got corrupted

Thanks for the information, to confirm the results, I did another 3 rounds of testing as following: I have 2*8GB sticks in slot 1 and 3 1) I removed the one in slot 3 and kept the one in slot 1, the memtest86 didn't report any errors, therefore I concluded that stick 1 and slot 1 are both ok 2)...

I tried memtest86, there was some errors but I have no idea what it mean. image attached

I tried changing the m.2 slot before wiping the drive and installing windows, it didn't recognised it, and anyway, this is not a fix, I will be still worried that someday the error will occur again.

I also used the Crystal disk, it is showing ok as well

For the memory I used Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool, for the SSD I used Adata SSD ToolBox. I still haven't formatted the system yet, I'm waiting till I find more information about the issue or some sort of fix, then I will do final fresh windows installition. How do I test the SSD more thoroughly?
