M.2 / mobo problem

[Koopia]

Hi!

 

I have this very weird problem with my pc, I think problem might be with m.2 ssd or motherboard.

(*Ssd is seagate firecuda 520, mobo is Asrock b450 steel legend)

Last evening I went to sleep and I didn't turn off my pc, in the morning I Woke up to a bios screen, I didn't think much of it and restarded pc, thats when i noticed that my main drive wasn't in the bios (sata m.2 drive and regular ssd works fine).

I turned off psu and waited some time, then turned pc back on and then everything worked fine, my main drive worked fine, but pc crashes alot and sometimes it dosen't recognize my main drive after crash. (Blue screen mainly sais "critical process died")

 

I know i have to replace somethinf, but whrere do i start? Is the drive faulty or is the motherboard faulty?

is your gear pretty new?. start an RMA process with your vendor.. 

well if you have other ports on the board you can test the nvme in those too .. to check if it works. 

you will need to test things on another motherboard to realy find the culprit..  or have other m.2 nvme disks to test in that port. if it shows up your nvme is probably dead.  if  it's your board OR cpu if it's in the PCIE m.2 port, if it's in the chipset port your mobo has died.

NVME drive is new, mobo is older. On this board other m.2 port only works with sata m.2, but might be best to try with another nvme drive yeah

You can use CristalDiskInfo to see if your drives are reporting any fault. If not, you can always try your suspect drive into another computer to see if it operates correctly.
