I was using my laptop this week and while playing Portal Reloaded I saw a black screen. I assumed it was a graphics driver issue, tried restarting the drivers but got nothing. Every keyboard shortcut to exit failed. I finally forced a restart and the laptop didn’t POST. Today I noticed one SSD isn’t being recognized by the motherboard and another RAM stick is preventing startup. Have anyone experienced RAM and NVMe failure together? I’m sure the RAM slots are reliable since I tested them with other components. My laptop specs: Aorus 5 SE4 RAM (faulty), 1x16GB TimeTec DDR4, 1x16GB TimeTec DDR4, 2x8GB Crucial DDR4 (RAM works in pairs like 24GB), SSD – TimeTec MS10 1TB Gen3x4.
