Hi guys,
I am recently having a recurring problem and desperately looking for solution:
1) Sometimes after waking up from sleep (Windows 11) the computer do BSOD with codes like CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED/INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE etc. and the pc restarts and going into bios but the KC3000 is not recognized by bios, so windows won't even start. And when I exit and save bios without any changes sometimes on the restart it will recognize the os drive and boot into windows, but sometimes multiple restarts won't help and it will go into bios without recognizing the os drive at all. Random.
2) Sometimes upon boot, it will just not recognize the NVME os drive and go into bios and the drive cannot be seen there at all.
When it happens I get BSOD but no minidump is created since it could not be written to the storage.
Other drives that SSD sata are always discovered in BIOS. They are just data drives though.
The Kingston SSD manager states the the drive is healthy with no failures. The thing is that when it boots it works. It never happened a BSOD while doing work in Windows. Problem happens only on wake up from sleep or startup.
What I did:
1) default bios settings - did not help (I disabled EXPO etc.)
2) mem test - looks ok (I have 64GB RAM)
3) I have installed latest drivers in Armory Crate - did not help, issue still persists
4) running SFC /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth - did not help too
Unfortunetly, I don't have another motherboard and pc to check the drive in another system.
System specs:
- 7950x3d processor
- bios in version 1602
- rtx 4090 with latest nvidia drivers
- nvme drive: KINGSTON SKC30004096G, firmware EIFK31.6
I have this build running for over 1 year without issues, but recently it's what it is. I doubt it's a windows installation issue, since after that happens drive is not seen by the bios.
I have searched the net without any solution for this, I kindly ask you for help.

Downloading the latest chipset drivers from Asus (1/x/2025 release) and a reboot seems to have solved this same issue for me. My affected drive was a Samsung 980 Pro in the #2 NVME M2 slot. Hoping this is is a trend back to stable. It has been acting up since October. CPU = 7900x, C7H x670e = MB.

Updating to latest BIOS 2604 + latest chipset drivers (7.01.08.129 - from asus , not official amd site, they have different versioning - latest there is 6.10.17.152) seems to have resolved the issue. But still testing.
