Why is the hard drive not visible in the BIOS?

After deleting all partitions on the GPT disk and subsequent partitioning through it, the disk is no longer visible through the BIOS, but when installing Windows, it is available for partitioning, and is also visible in utilities such as cfdisk, gdisk, fdisk, etc. (i.e. only BIOS and, accordingly, I can install, for example, Windows, but I won’t be able to boot into it, only sometimes, in 1-2 cases out of 50, Windows loads but crashes into BSoD at different intervals (I remembered only 1 of them KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, checked the RAM through the built-in diagnostic utility Windows, everything is fine with it + when installing Windows, the message SMART status bad appeared, but when checking SMART from Windows and from GParted LiveCD, it says that everything is fine and this message did not appear anymore)
I'm sure that the HDD is alive, but I don't understand why it doesn't see it BIOS only
How can the problem be solved?

The BIOS detects the HDD, since the installer and various software see it. Try enabling UEFI in BIOS.

In my opinion, it is better to lean towards the pessimistic option and overdo it.
Connect the disk to a working Windows computer, run R.tester on it and do at least a quick hard disk diagnostic (or better, full tests) - this will help you understand why the "skis don't work":

By the way, if you take a LiveCD with Windows and you can throw R.tester there, it should work too - the program does not require installation.
