I recently upgraded almost my entire pc (everything but psu) and installed windows 10 on a brand new Samsung 960 m.2. Occasionally windows will fail to boot just after the motherboard splash screen and will give the screen below.
The computer hangs on that screen for 30 seconds or so until it reboots and will then successfully boot windows. On top of this when i get to the windows 10 log in screen it flashes a few times instead of nicely fading in.
Additionally, I am seeing occasional artifacting vertically across the screen. This happens maybe once every few hours.
I am fairly confident the ssd is the problem as I have installed it in two different pc's with the same results. I have ruled out my gpu as well because it runs in a separate pc with no issues. This is the second 960 this has happened with as a sent the first one back with the same issue. I have tried putting the ssd in both m.2 slots and have reinstalled windows 10 three times now. BIOS is up to date and set to AHCI. I feel like I am missing something simple, any help would be appreciated.
Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS z270E
CPU: Intel i5 7600k @ 3.8 GHz
RAM: (2x) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz 8GB
GPU: ASUS Strix GeForce 1080 ti OC
STORAGE: Samsung 960 Evo 250gb
PSU: OCZ 750w
