Hard crashes in Win11, stable in stress tests in Linux

Since you've run live OS from usb, that excluded potential problems with Samsung drive - coincidentally I have 2Tb 980 Pro that gave me problems on Windows (hard freezes, not detected in bios until power is disconnected from PSU), and works perfectly fine in laptop and CachyOS.

$2500 Samsung TV is an advertising billboard, there is no opt-out.

I will never buy another Samsung product as long as I live their TVs are ad-ridden, and their OLED panels carry only a 1 year warranty. LG OLED carries 5 year panel warranty (parts only). their fridges are designed to not be repaired and THEY'RE PILOTING ADS RIGHT ON THEM RIGHT NOW their washers are

IO1 Failed to initialize

That Samsung 980 Pro being 6+ years old is probably your main suspect here 💀 SSDs start getting sketchy around that age, especially if it's your boot drive that's been hammered with constant read/writes. The IO1 error usually points to storage controller issues rather than the PCH fan - that fan war

Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to court

I miss Crucial as much as I miss EVGA. Crucial wasn't the best / fastest, but they were usually the most economical for me and they worked reliably with no frills. I still have some MX100 SSDs in service. My last Crucial purchase was a Crucial P3 Plus 4TB SSD. For $230. Last summer. That was to back

Build Help

Ok, I really hope you haven't purchased anything yet. You are buying a full sized ATX motherboard. There are 4 sizes of motherboards (from smallest to largest); Mini ITX, mATX, ATX, and E-AXT. An ATX motherboard will absolutely not fit in that mATX case on the chart, nor the ITX case you mentioned.

My Windows 11 Pro desktop was unexpected shutdown

Update bios if there is new version, for starters. What's the exact drive model? I had problems with Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB that liked to just disappear in Windows until power is removed from computer, and behaves ok with Arch.

This thing cooked?

Nah. It affected the 990 Pro, too. From my understanding, it didn't affect 960s or 970s, but I've seen people on forums complain about their 960s and 970s dying early too, so who knows? The 980 Pro was just the model that had the most reported failures. Also, worth noting, the firmware update isn't

Which one should I choose? Please give me advice! Thanks!

real I have one of their nvme drives and it's been working flawlessly meanwhile my Samsung 980 pro 2TB died in less than a year. would randomly disconnect and wouldn't be able to be read by the motherboard in the bios. I was lucky enough that it stayed alive just enough for me to clone the data to a

Pour one out for me boys..

Hey folks, I'm having almost the exact same error on my single Samsung 980 Pro 1TB.I've had zero errors until I updated to 7.3 about 2 weeks ago, now I'm having...some. Not a ton, but more than zero, which is the number I expect.I find it awfully suspicious that so many of us are suddenly having "co

Sandisk you suck

I am having the same issue with Intel RMA’ing my 13900K & Samsung with my 980 Pro, both in perfect physical condition with proof of purchase & fully articulated testing to ensure it’s not my system that’s the issue. Big companies are just screwing consumers right now due to the demand from the AI BS
