Im a bit late here but did you try any sata to usb contraptions? I have had on my z370 motherboard anomalies with it shutting off and freezing one of my 3tb hdds when i have almost all the sata and nvme ports saturated. It can be a software malfunction or a hdd just randomly dying. best way is to hook it alone beside only the boot drive and see if it loads up on the emty sata slots. * +
