SN850P 8tb not showing up

I got the new SN850P with heatsink and it is not showing up in my windows but is showing up bios. I put it in my Lenovo Ideapad gaming 3 15ach6. It will occasionally show up but then eventually disappear in windows. Any long term fixes
Update: The ssd crashes whenever the laptop does any downloading while the ssd is inside the laptop

Your SN850P SSD may have recognition issues in Windows due to firmware, driver, or power management settings. Try updating the firmware, drivers, and BIOS, and adjust power settings in Device Manager. Ensure the SSD is securely connected and test it in another system. If the issue persists, contact WD support for further help.
