The PC will crash once and then operate normally
Hello! I have been having a super weird problem this last week and I want your opinion and suggestions. Here is some context: I have my windows on a 2TB nvme ssd Recently when turning my pc on, windows keeps loading and loading, then I get a blue screen about boot error. Here is the weird part: 1) If I restart my pc while windows is loading or while I see the disk LED screen flashing, then next time I wont have a bootable disk (it will take me to the bios UEFI settings). I will need to shut down the PC in order to be able to get the blue screen again. 2) If I wait until the blue screen appears and the LED flashing finishes, and then i restart, pc boots to windows normally, nothing wrong, everything is perfect Has anyone else experienced something like this? It's as if the disk needs some time or some exact processing before it is viewable at all by the bios and becomes bootable. I can only think 3 things at the moment 1) Nvme is dying 2) PSU maybe is defective and doesn't properly... start up my nvme? 3) Windows 11 is destroying the boot sector every time it shuts down and somehow fixes it on the restart after a BSOD appears OS: Windows 11 Main Nvme: (shown in first screenshot) MOBO: B650 EAGLE AX RAM: 32 GB DDR5 GPU: Radeon RX 7600 XT CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor 4.70 GHz PSU: Corsair RM750
Upgrade your chipset drivers and BIOS. This usually fixes the issue. If not, try testing your NVMe and consider using Occt for a power check.
I’ve checked with HDDScan to detect any bad sectors on my NVMe drive—no issues found. I also ran an OCCT power test, and nothing was detected. For reference, the NVMe reached 53°C. I’ll proceed with a BIOS update and keep you updated.
I also changed the bios to version F34, tested both with and without fast boot, but no changes were noticed. Sadly, the issue remains the same.
The NVMe appears to be the primary concern. Improper placement seems common with M.2 devices, so consider repositioning it. Use Kingston's SSD utility to verify firmware updates. Power supply unit is improbable. Should the issue remain unresolved, the motherboard might be the culprit—especially if it has several M.2 ports; try swapping one out.
I installed the Kingston tool, applied the NVMe firmware update, and was surprised when my PC restarted and booted into Windows normally. This could have been the fix! I’ll wait a couple of days for results and will confirm it as the solution if everything works. Thanks to everyone!
