Pure guess here, given limited information.

- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Matisse)**
- 1 x M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s)
**If M2_1 is occupied, PCIE4 will be disabled.

So the 2nd M2 socket will only supply 2 PCIe lanes. This shouldn't pose any problems normally, other than max transfer speed becoming halved, maybe some NVMe SSDs don't meet PCIe specs and won't work properly with just 2 lanes.

SX6000PNP apparently worked fine, but maybe TM8FP6512G0C101 doesn't.

Can't think of anything else.

ASRock B450 Pro4
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
AMD Radeon RX 580
32GB DDR4 SDRAM 3200MHz
Windows 11

I have a Kingston SA2000M8/250G M.2 NVME SSD in M.2_1 (Windows drive) and a ADATA SX6000PNP 256GB in M.2_2. Both of these work fine. I tried to upgrade the latter using a TeamGroup TM8FP6512G0C101 512GB SSD, but in M.2_2 it generates a BSOD almost as soon as I reach the desktop after booting. If I put this in M.2_1 (making it the Windows boot drive) it works fine - no BSOD.

Any ideas why this might be the case?]]> Wed, 04 Sep 2024 16:30:49 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=60062&PID=143394&title=new-ssd-causes-bsod-pound#143394
