Samsung 980 pro zorgt voor BSOD als boot drive mysterie

[Woodsadrian]

Ik had net dit bericht gepost op Tom's Hardware, maar wou het ook graag hier delen. Eventueel om meer mensen te vinden met een dergelijk probleem (en eventueel uit de brand te helpen) en uiteraard het mysterie op te lossen van hoe dit gerelateerd kan zijn aan de hoeveelheid GPU's.

Hierbij mijn bericht, het is wel in het engels gezien Tom's hardware engels is:

It has driving me mad for 2 weeks, why my newly built workstation was randomly getting BSOD with a whea uncorrectable error.
After pretty much every problem solution i could think of and/or find online, the only thing left was the motherboard or the 980 pro boot drive.
Here is a spec list:

Asus pro ws x570-Ace mobo
128 gb total 4 x 32gb corairs vengeance lpx 3200
AMD ryzen 3900XT
Fractal s36+ dynamic
1500w Be Quiet dark power pro PSU
1x m2 nvme samsung 980 pro 1tb
1x m2 nvme corsair mp400 2tb
2x Evga 3080 XC3 ultra gaming
1x Evga 1080ti Black gaming
5x mk140 corsair case fans
Fractal define 7 case with Linkup riser cable

I tried the samsung 980 pro boot drive in both m2 slots (pcie 4.0 x4 and pcie 4.0 x2 (x1 shared)), but got a BSOD on both.
I tried reinstalling windows with UEFI and Legacy but both times got BSOD.
The disk passed all tests of samsung magician software, and the workstation passes all the tests for 1 hour of OCCT, CPU-Z and Furmark. But at random, unpredictable times i got BSOD.
The weird thing is it became worse the more GPU's where installed.
Single 1080 ti -> 1-2 days without BSOD
Single 3080 -> max 12 hours without BSOD (sometimes after 20 min or less)
Double 3080 -> mostly not longer then 1 hour

Seeming i already formatted the SSD and reinstalled windows, monitored temperatures and they kept low, kept getting BSOD in both m2 slots and it passed all the diagnostics, i skipped this as a potential cause of the BSOD early on in my problem solving. I was focussing on potential driver and or RAM problems, switching ram sticks and doing ram tests. I also reseated all the hardware, looking for installation errors.
After the problem persisted, i took to a last resort and installed windows on the corsair mp400 drive instead of the samsung 980 pro, and voila. It has been running stable without BSOD for 2 days with all the ram and all the GPU's installed (off course i am still nail biting and hoping it wont crash again... but i think this solved it). I left the samsung 980 pro in the second m2 slot, but it is not running windows or being used in any other way.

But i am still boggled by the question why this has happend. Is it motherboard related, that it loses sufficient power to the nvme drive when more GPU's are installed? Or is it a firmware/integrity problem of the Samsung 980 pro (on both m2 slots, using different pcie lanes)? Samsung doesn't offer a firmware/driver update yet for the 980 pro.
Weird thing is that the speed was bottlenecked in the second m2 slot, due to a lack of lanes, but the computer still crashed, so the speed of the 980 pro can't be the cause.

I also wanted to share this to see if any other people are experiencing BSOD with the 980 pro as boot drive.
