Hello everyone.
Recently I've noticed my old SSD is really slow so I wanted to make an upgrade. My brother recommended me m2 SSD so I bought myself a Samsung 970 EVO plus.
My specifications:
GTX 1080
Asus Prime B350 Plus
Ryzen 7 1700x
32 GB ddr 4 RAM
700W PSU
128 GB SSD
256 GB SSD
2TB HDD
500GB m2 SSD (Samsung 970 EVO plus)
So it all started when I first tried to format the disk. It was in RAW format (which I never saw until now) and I had quite a lot of trouble to format it to NTFS (formatting was stopped because of an error). Then I tried to test it's speed and by copying files onto it crashed my whole windows. When I tried installing windows, I also got an error (which said, that the selected drive was offline). After that I decided to try another drive and the same error popped up. Then I was out of idea what to do and tried resetting bios which actually helped and I was able to install windows 10 successfully.
However, now I've problem with windows crashing. Should I play GTA V or sometimes copy files onto the disk, it will either freeze or cause BSOD. It also always happen if I try to benchmark the disk with crystal disk mark or samsung magician. For sure it's the disk's fault, because if I use my old windows I do not have any problems with crashing.
Things I've tried so far:
drivers from microsoft and samsung
resetting bios again (only loading optimized options, should I try with the hard reset?)
turning off fast shutdown in windows
running commands (chkdsk, scf /scannow)
unplugging other sata drives and made sure sata 5 & 6 are empty
check the temperatures (the highest was 68°C during GTA V and at that point it crashed)
The drive is really fast and I love it (when it's not crashing). I really want to avoid going back to normal SSD because the speed is just amazing :/. If anyone has any clue I'd be very thankful.
P.S.: running linux from an USB drive allowed me to benchmark the disk (2TB in 5 minutes without any errors), so I think it has to do something with windows.
