Built it about 3 or 4 years ago.
Gigabyte Z170X-UD5
Intel I7 4.0 ghz processor
NVME has been on there for about 2 years. Samsung 960 EVO
After taking it all the way out of the system examining it, can find nothing wrong burn wise. My drive check came back 100 percent. I put it back in and cloned my C: drive over to it after powershell formatting and cleaning it. Deleted all partitions. Then new simple volume. Cloned it again, and it makes the system have a halt code. 5 beeps. Then I reboot, change the boot order to the drive I cloned it from, and it boots with no problem. Samsung 850 EVO. Guess i will have to be happy with 550 mbps. lol. Sucks though. That thing was expensive!! 180 if I remember right. I think No cooling solution and heat is what caused it to fail. Taking it out of the system. I never really saw the difference in gaming from having 550 mbps as opposed to 2200 mbps Thread closed.
