Asus Tuf Z790 motherboard does not work with any PCIe Gen 4 Nvme

[Chillzr]

Hello everyone!

I'm here after several weeks of searching but I can't find any solution.

I currently have :

i7 13700KF

 Asus Tuf z790 plus wifi

DDR5 6400Mhz 2x16 Kingston

Corsair RM 850

Asus tuf RTX 4070 Ti

I've never been able to get an Nvme gen4 to work. My problem is that I've tried with a 980 pro 2to and a KC3000 2to, when I try to install Windows 11 the computer repeatedly gives a blue screen as soon as I try to write on it. I've tried setting it as a secondary drive, but after 2 or 3 minutes the drive no longer works properly, I can't write to it, and sometimes when I reboot it goes into RAW or works again for 2 or 3 minutes. It seems that the problem comes from the bandwidth or from the poorly distributed energy, because the disk works more or less normally when I put it in gen3. I had the same configuration before, but with an Asus tuf Z690 D4 Wifi motherboard and DDR4, and I had exactly the same problem. I've tried a lot of tutorials and upgraded a lot but haven't found a solution.

Thank's

I'd like to point out that I was able to try this out on another configuration at a friend's house, and he had no problems with the disks.

Are those the only 2 M.2 drives you can test? Are they cooled properly? What are you using to install Windows a USB drive?

Hello,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I currently have two 1TB M.2 disks:

Corsair MP510
Samsung PM981a

I have no problem with these two which are gen3 while all m.2 gen4 disks bug. I noticed that even putting my disk in gen3 bug too. It's as if the disk works when Windows starts up, but as soon as I try to write to it, the disk crashes and I can't write to it. I used the same Windows 11 installation usb key as for my Samsung PM981a disk, which works great. My problem really comes from the gen4 disks, it seems that the motherboard doesn't manage them properly and clamps the disk or makes it crash. I've tried on all the M.2 ports on my motherboard with or without a cooler.
