Latest BSOD alerts - unrecoverable error detected
It looks like this person is facing a very similar or even identical problem. I’m saving this link for later reference, not sure if it happened after he changed his components. Since I haven’t touched my PC’s internals since early March, and the LF3 AIO arrived on April 5th, I’m only starting to notice these issues now. I’ll re-seat everything except the CPU because the Arctic LF3 is really tough to mount (it’s basically a wide leaf spring). I’m hoping that might help, but I’ll wait to see the results of the scan. It could be a reseat or something with the motherboard. I haven’t done it yet, and I’ll finish after I wake up.
This occasion highlights the "NVMe Samsung SSD 980" as the likely culprit. Thanks to its storage WHEA feature, you can easily verify it yourself—it encodes the drive name in hex-encoded ASCII. Simply convert the entire RawData section to ASCII and you’ll see the identifier. Initially, there may be no recognizable text, but eventually the drive name will appear. Although SSDs contain more than just storage NAND chips, incorrect placement is frequent with M.2 slots. If your system has several M.2 ports and you place the nearest one near the GPU, consider moving it to a cooler location to prevent overheating.
And yes, we moved and repositioned it once more. Still needed to check the serial number for product registration. I think an RMA would be the best option. Probably won’t keep the new SSD in the top slot, since that slot is between the GPU and CPU, actually just a few inches below the CPU.
