Question Spooky BSoDs

[yliats]

Hi all,

Recently I started getting BSoD ~3 min after logging in to my Windows 10.

Things I've tried to narrow down the possible issues list:

• Full format of my main SSD (that had windows installed) and reinstalling a clean Windows 10.
• Repeating this with Windows 11.

Since this didn't help I've started looking for hardware issues:

• Plugged a new stronger PSU to eliminate power issues
• SSDs health check (read / write counters) which was perefectly fine for both SSDs.
• Nothing is overheating according to Aida64

At this point my main SSD disapeared from bootable devices list in bios, so I've tried:

• Switching places between the two SSDs.

It reapeared and got me a fresh new BSoD minutes after logging in to windows. I've logged in from my second SSD (Ubuntu) and it is now stable and I still can browse my first SSD in file explorer.

Then I tried "disk benchmark" through Ubuntu:

• The second SSD (Ubuntu) werked fine
• The first SSD (Windows) crashed

I am not sure what is going on. I was sure that once SSD dies - it stops working. Instead, the first SSD (Windows) does work sometimes until it crashes (it doesn't look temeperature related). How else can I make sure that my first SSD is dead without any doubt?

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion! My BIOS is up to date.
It all indicates that the SSD is fried.

hopefully the ssd is under warranty and you have a back up of the data.
