I have had a serious issue with my Gigabyte Aeros Z390 Pro for a couple of months. What happens is that the board started cutting to certain devices. First it was the bluetooth part of the pci-e wifi/BT card. Meaning my BT devices keyboard would suddenly freeze. And only work if rebooted my machine, I then disabled ASPM in the bios and then they started working. Then a couple of months past, and everything worked. Then what happend is that during gaming on my RTX 2070, the machine would would die and reboot into the bios. Windows gave the issue
"Critical Process Died in Windows 10".
I reseated the graphics card, and changed the power cable from the PSU to the GPU. And then it started working. But yesterday the raid array of dual NVMEs 970 Evo plus just broke, and it gave again critical process Died in Windows. I reseted the NVMEs and suddely both came back but can't recreate the raid array again. I have noticed two bend pins in the USB 3.0 board connector (which is unused), and they look to only touch the plastic of the connector and not the mainboard.
So my question here to to you guys is.
Is it the bend pins in the unused USB 3.0 connector which is causing havock?
