Hey,

todays evening my PC just broke down.
When I reboot I get the bluescreen saying
"page fault in nonpaged area"
Reason : "ntfs.sys".

The most strange thing is, that I wanted to try the windows repair. I installed a new USB drive with windows. But it always breaks down and restarts the pc. I disconnected the ssd and the windows repair / installation boots fine. I went into the windows installation and reconnected the ssd, but it wont show up in the volume selection screen.
I plugged in my old ssd (windows was still installed) and it boots fine.
I connected the newer ssd, but I cant find it in my disk manager.

My bios still detects the ssd.

Things I have also tried:
- turning it of and on again
- switching cables

May someone had this problem before?

Thanks in advance,
Greetings
Rob

Setup:
Intel i7 8700K CPU
MSI Z370 SLI PLUS Mainboard - Intel Z370 - Intel L
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 WindForce OC 8G, 8192 MB GDDR6
Samsung 860 Evo (new)
(old was a 250gb evo I think)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB

"But it always breaks down and restarts the pc."

What do you mean by this exactly?

Firstly I would try a completely fresh install on the SSD - the BSOD you're encountering is where windows is attempting to fetch a file and not finding it. So it has been known to be a RAM problem too. But the fact you've swapped and replaced would seem to isolate it to the SSD.

If even the clean installer faults on the new SSD, sounds like the SSD could be faulty. You could always see if you can access it via a docking station and testing it.
