    New/Second SSD issues


    I've come across a strange issue that I've never seen before and nothing I've tried has worked.We have an Asus A15 laptop. We've installed a second SSD m.2 2280 that should be supported, according to the specs. When booting into BIOS, it shows the new SSD WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD as well as the old/original one. When booting into Windows 11, the new drive is shown in the Disk Manager as unformatted black bar. When attempting to initialize or format it, we get an error "A device which does not exist was specified" and then is disappears from disk manager. Nothing we did seemed to change an

    Z Book BSOD with Second SSD Drive

    Hi all

    I have an issue with an HP Z Book. It is a new Generation 6 device and came with a pre-installed second SSD drive.

    All worked fine until I tried to put our corporate image onto the primary OS SSD.

    Firstly, the new OS installed onto the secondary SSD rather than the primary.

    So I disconnected/removed the secondary, recreated the partition on the primary and loaded our stock OS.

    The machine now works absolutely fine, as long as I do not try to re-introduce the second SSD drive.

    If I reinstall this, the machine boots up OK for a second or two and then BSOD's.

    Can anyone suggest the reason for this issue - the BSOD message reported a kernel error.

    Any ideas on steps to take to resolve this?

    Thanks

    Phil

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    New/Second SSD issues

    geforce experience takes an age to load..

    Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

    When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

    So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
