Drive issue, or is it new GPU?

[fesershapiny2102]

Hey guys,

My 3060 died recently and while it's going through the returns process, I've got a 3060Ti. Had it a month and had a few problems. Initially I had some BSOD but after upgrading to the latest Nvidia drivers, it seemed fine.

A week or so after the majority of the time I turn the PC on, it says it can't find a boot device and needs to reboot. Both my drives are listed in the bios without issues and thus eventually after a few reboots, power cycles, it will boot up. Thereafter, generally no problems other than an occasional BSOD, which feels quite simply like the hard drive as simply become unavailable/stopped working.

I've checked all connections, reseated things ok. When operational, I've stress tested the machine, ran the Samsung drive check... all with no issues, hence I'm torn on what to do next. Wait for the 3060 replacement, go back to that card and see if that's fine and put it down to some sort of 3060Ti conflict with the mobo/drive? Or is the Samsung drive just intermittently faulty?

Any advice/thoughts most appreciated and welcome.

What are the bluescreens whining about? If you don't know.... you can get NirSoft's Bluescreen View for free, download it, run it, and it will show you the errors. See what it has to say.
