Nope nothing wrong with the NVMe.. Just something about my setup or BIOs version that just doesn't like NVMe. It worked fine on another computer and another brand of NVMe gave a BSOD when installed on this setup.

I was mistaken when I said it had a v2 bios on it. For SOME reason I thought I was still in the 2.x range but then when I went to update it, I already had 3.40 on it, I have no memory of touching the BIOS on this motherboard. But that did rule out the problem being a 2.x bug. Since apparently I've had 3.40 all along. I did go ahead and install the latest chipset drivers from the AMD website on the 28th as I posted above.
I turned the computer on today and when I logged into Windows it immediately gave me another BSOD and this time the bootmgr got corrupted, but the startup repair fixed it. I'm starting to think this NVMe is a lemon. Unless anyone else has any other suggestions. |

did you miss the very clear bit i recommended to use bios versions 3xxx 5.10 is for the 3rd gen ryzens and allthough technically it should handle it ok ,there was no need to go above the versions 3xxx i suggested for a first gen cpu however your done now and cant flash back as suggested by threedee download the newer AMD chipset drivers DIRECT FROM AMD SUPPORT Edited by datonyb - 01 Oct 2020 at 1:50am |

Just installed the chipset drivers from the AMD website. Will post again if the problem happens again.

You mean the AMD Allin1 package? I have the 18.50.16.01, the one it suggests to have installed before you update the BIOS. |

I updated the BIOS to 5.10 today and it actually made it worse. Now instead of random restarts that didn't leave any trace of a crash or anything. It now has random BSODs, that all suggest a driver issue.
My thought process for stopping with 5.10 was that I didn't want to update it too much considering im still using 1st Gen Ryzen. But I wanted to get the M.2 changes in 4.60 and thought the bridge was that close why not just go up to it. |

Hey thanks for replying! Sorry, I thought my signature would show and I didn't pay attention that it didn't do that.
You guessed correctly, I have a Ryzen 5 1600. So you think the problem is just the 2.x BIOSes. As for the Windows re-install, it basically was a clean install, it resulted in a Windows.old folder so there was nothing left over from the previous install. |

important bit of info missing
what cpu are you using im guessing its a first gen ? your board is the sister board to my taichi x370 on first gen use bios 3.20 or 3.3 (remember to update to version3 first) the bios versions circa 2.x were all a steep learning curve for ALL board makers and had various bugs and bad ram settings i do also agree with the bios education that if its not broke dont upgrade and i did indeed stay on bios 3.1 with my taichi until i wanted a 3rd gen ryzen after that id suggest if possible try to copy files/pics etc off the nvme and really really advise to just do a clean install using the latest win 10 media creation file from micrsoft and go from there P.S. REMEMBER TO RESET BIOS DEFAULTS BEFORE FLASHING A NEW BIOS |
