Hi, wasn’t sure where to ask , my last non laptop was a pentium 75. Friend bring this monster over. Apperantly there is a Samsung drive somewhere that would need to be changed. Mostly because no one can figure out where the issue is an just hoping its the drive. Feeling stupid trying to figure out where it is 😃. Issue is bootloops randomly. Drive have been formatted before with a little change to the better for a while. I was gonna say software issue but thats not it ive been told. All temps normal. All i can see is the kingston and i dont want to remove anything i dont have to. Checked connections, taking another look at the rams also . Any ideas? Both for where the drive is hiding and guesses where the issue origins from thanks
Always good to put mobo model into search to find the details, but I guess the Samsung is here:
For the bootloops … maybe try with only one (or the other) RAM stick. Then without external mobo.
Maybe reset CMOS.
Wait, what do you mean by bootloops exactly?
Can you boot OS from a USB drive & test the system (maybe RAM with MemTest86)?
BTW, the mobo might be “ASUS Prime Z790-P” or close to it.
Tech specs, manuals, firmware/software:
asus.com/prime-z790-p/
If so, it has three m.2 slots:
But from the pic you posted I think you can just see that there isn’t anything in the slot below the graphics card:
