Hey everyone, just picked up two SN850x 4TB units—one for gaming and one for OS. I'm running into problems when using OS on the drives; apps like Chrome crash, and the plug-in screen flashes white on Chrome, with YouTube loading issues. Every time I start it, a worker freezes strangely. Steam didn’t load at all, maybe due to a few configuration changes. I’ve used ASUS Z790 Hero, MSI Ace, and MSI Meg Z690 13900K—two 32GB DDR5 RAM units with RVM 850X power supply. The total cost is probably just a bit more than the sum of parts. When I swapped OS to my older Gen 3 Samsung drive, everything worked fine. Now I’m left with the second drive in game mode and still can’t get any crashes. Anyone know what’s going on?

Maybe we should reinstall Windows? You seem a bit unclear, so let's make it clearer.

It seems the issue isn't with your drives but possibly in your BIOS settings. Consider updating your BIOS and reinstalling Windows.

I attempted that too, but problems persisted as well. Also tried moving M.2 to a different port while keeping the same setup.

Current BIOS configuration. I've tested several settings but nothing changed.

Completed the test with crsistaldiscinfo enabled. After finishing, the temperature reached 65°C during the run, though it wasn’t observed during regular operation.
