I currently have multiple SSDs running in my system: Samsung 870 Evo 2TB, Samsung 860 Evo 1TB, WD_Black SN770 1TB, and Samsung 970 Evo 500GB. All of these drives have been working fine, and my system has been completely stable for the past six months. I have the latest BIOS installed, and all of my drivers are up to date.

Recently, I received a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB. I installed and formatted it as usual, then installed a large game onto the new SSD. The game ran perfectly the first time, but after a system restart, the SSD disconnected. It displayed 1MB of unallocated space and couldn’t be formatted again.

I found this strange, so I swapped the NVMe drives to test if there was an issue with the slot. However, the exact same thing happened. Assuming the drive was faulty, I ordered another Samsung 990 Pro 2TB. Unfortunately, after installation, the same issue occurred.

I then decided to test a WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD. The WD drive works fine until I download multiple files queued one after another. At that point, I receive a BSOD with the error message: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

In an attempt to resolve the problem, I performed a fresh install of Windows 11, but the issue persists. This only started occurring when I began using the new 2TB NVMe drives and populated all my M.2 slots.

Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve been trying to resolve this for the past 12 hours, and it’s driving me stir crazy

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I currently have multiple SSDs running in my system: Samsung 870 Evo 2TB, Samsung 860 Evo 1TB, WD_Black SN770 1TB, and Samsung 970 Evo 500GB.
Which of these drives has the OS on it?

but after a system restart, the SSD disconnected. It displayed 1MB of unallocated space and couldn’t be formatted again.
Seems like the SSD conked out.

While all drives were disconnected except for the one you intended to install the OS on, did you recreate your bootable USB installer for your OS, to later install said OS in offline mode(sans www), to later manually install all drivers in an elevate command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

I have the latest BIOS
For the sake of relevance, what BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

Specs: • Ryzen 7 7800X3D • NZXT B650e • TUF RTX 3080 OC • Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5-6400
You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. Pass on a link to the ram kit you're working with. Make and model of your case?

I looked through your .dmp file using WinDBG
nvlddmkm.sys
is what shows up to be the culprit, you might want to use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

OS is installed on the Samsung 970 Evo 500GB

Thanks for the quick reply! BIOS was updated to : N7 B650E (3.15) BIOS Update / 2024-12-10

PSU is Corsair RM850 80 plus gold, this is around three years old.

Case is the NZXT H510 Elite

I have linked the ram kit below.
