I, was playing a video game when suddenly my PC crashed, after a few crashes i saw that the BSOD would say WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR. After a few crashes later, i was STUMPED, i had no idea what was going on, so i spent $130 for a computer store to look at it, said he reverted some video graphics drivers and said it was good. I took the PC home tried to play some games and boom it happened again! This time was worse, when it crashed, and restarted, it sent me straight to my BIOS screen where my M.2 was not being recognized. Took it back to the guy, and it booted right back up! I was flabbergasted to say the least!
Took it home, booted it up, and it crashed again, not showing my boot drive NVME M.2. So I then switched the NVME M.2 to the other M.2 Slot on my motherboard where it worked for quite some time, until it crashed, no BSOD though, just a black screen, I rebooted and it loaded windows right up to where i am making this post! I have done hours of research of claims that obviously a hardware is at fault, I've heard replacing the CMOS might be a possible fix, but i am wary as the CMOS has to do with the BIOS and not the M.2 Storage device, correct?
I have also speculated that maybe the M.2 is at fault, but it seems to run okay, i've done a ckdsk test thing and it said it was healthy, i checked the C: properties tools thing and it also said it was healthy. Also, i have been trying to aquire some dump files but my Event Viewer is throwing an Event ID: 161 "Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation." Source: volmgr
Could this be a faulty M.2 or a faulty Motherboard?
