NVME Dying?

[Nick980]

I've recently been having issues with my pc where I would launch a game and the pc would crash, sometimes it was the instant I was in game and other times it was anywhere up to an hour before a problem would occur. I have two Samsung PM981 1tb drives in raid 0, if I remove the raid array I can install windows on one SSD and the issue gets better but I still get some BSODs. if I install on the second drive the instant any game starts I get a BSOD. Both drives report as 95%+ health in crystal diskmark and pass their extended self test in BIOS. I'm guessing the second drive is buggered and the first drive isn't far behind but wondering if theres anything else I might have missed?

 

the BSOD error that comes back is "WHEA uncorrectable error" but I get no dump logs as the pc fails to create them.

Hi, it could be RAM issue if it causing issue with both drives. Have you tried memtest86?
If you have more than one RAM module, please test one at a time to see if issue still persist, you may also swap the memory slot for through testing.
Since you mentioned it happens when launching game I suppose it is that time it starts to accumulate RAM module and one of the chip on it is faulty.

Both drives report 95% or higher health and no smart issues.

Have previously run memtest and ran with each stick individually but issues persist. Currently running memtest again and so far no errors, just finishing its third pass

then it is very unlikely to be the NVME.
