Hello,
I recently got my Samsung 960 Evo 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD. I had no issues with my PC before installing it. But, when I installed the new SSD and turned the PC on, it just started bootlooping. Like no POST, no video output, just turns on, turns off after a few seconds and turns back on. I waited for about three reboots and then switched off the power supply. After that, I switched my PC back on and then, on the first boot it posted, detected the SSD and I could even boot into Windows and use the PC with no problems. I used the as normal for about two days. Then, all of sudden, it started rebooting after POST, when I turned it on after a shutdown. So I tried entering BIOS on one of the reboots, but the BIOS completely froze. To my surprise, I didn't need to hard reboot my PC to get out of the frozen BIOS screen. It turned off right after a power button push. When I turned it on, it just booted into Windows and everything was normal. Also, one thing to mention, is that now, everytime I turn on my PC, I can see a greyish line appear for a fraction of a second on the POST screen, when ASUS splash logo is displayed. I was starting to get afraid that something is wrong with my GPU, but I ran Valley Benchamark succesfully for about 30 minutes to test the GPU.
So now, can someone tell me what can cause these issues? I inserted the SSD really carefully and used an antistatic wrist band while doing that. Also my computer has been on for long periods of time during recent days and I had no problems using Windows whatsoever. I also rebooted it many times when installing new drivers and nothing out of ordinary happened. But these random issues make me worried? Does it mean that one of my parts is dying? Or did I damage something when putting the SSD in?
My build:
Asus Z97-PRO (Wifi ac)
Intel Xeon E3-1231v3
2x4GB Kingston HyperX Savage Red 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 RAM
Asus GeForce GTX 960 Strix OC 2GB
Be Quiet Straight Power 10 500W CM PSU
HDDs:
Samsung 850 Evo 120GB SSD
WD Blue 1TB
Samsung 960 Evo 250GB (newly installed)
The build is a little more than 2 years old.
