Occasionally Thunderbolt 3 stops working as well as the BIOS reading my MacOS drive

Hey guys,

Been around for quite a bit and I'm stumped on this one. I have a mostly perfect Hackintosh. But occasionally, I'll be using my computer, power it down for the evening and in the morning the BIOS just decides it can't seem my MacOS drive anymore. It has never done this to the Windows drive though. This normally gets fixed by me unplugging the SATA cables and plugging them back in. I don't think it's a drive issue as this has happened in the past with two of my other MacOS SSDs.

The second issue is with Thunderbolt 3. It's really the same exact deal as the SATA. My Thunderbolt device will be working just fine, I'll boot up in the morning and it just decides to not read my device. The device powers up, but nothing is visible. The only fix is repeatedly unplugging it from the PCIE slot, unplugging/plugging in the device, etc. Today it took nearly 7 attempts before it finally booted properly. I'm aware that you can't hot plug (which I never do). I always leave the device connected.
