Samsung Evo 860 SSD booting intermitently

Let me see if I can get someone else to look at this. I think we're missing something and another set of eyes will help.

Samsung will send you a replacement drive, if that drive is the culprit. Possible Motherboard or Power supply problem. Look at other hardware areas, do not just concentrate on a single device.

Did you update the BIOS? Did that help? Inquiring minds want to know? ... like ME

Hello ztruker, sorry, somehow I missed your post. Just started to checking into the bios today. Its seems I'm using the latest unless I use the beta version. Beta may introduce more issues.

Here is what I found at Gigabyte:

What do you think?

Bro67 said possible power supply issue, but it powers on everytime, just doesnt always boot past the Gigabtye logo screen. Wouldn't that eliminate it being a power supply issue?
Thanks

i guess i have a similar issue

Lenovo Z40-70 Laptop

Windows 10 Home
Version 1903
OS build 17763.379

Problem;
Already cloned SSD is installed on laptop (Samsung QVO 360 1TB).

When Restart is invoked (either by software update and/or via start menu)
System stuck in bootloop of PXE-E61

When accessing BIOS during this error, SSD not detected !

When Shut Down is invoked, and starting up afterwards, error does not occur

Problem is re-producible

Acions :
- Disable boot to LAN -> same issue and
- update bios -> same issue

Todo:
Set BIOS to UEFI and no LEGACY support


Containment :
Recovering from for bootloop is to turn off/shut down using power button
afterwards system boots properly

And always perform shutdown from Start Menu or Power Button i.s.o. Restart

Background info:
SSD (Samsung QVO 360 1TB ) was cloned using Samsung's Data Migration Program

All 3 partitions were enlarged using the Cloning Software

Any hints already to get this fixed? its quite annoying when machine restarts by itself
and stuck in bootloop when im not around.

Your problem would be hardware failure. You do have a five year old laptop that the motherboard is about as much as getting a Newer unit.
