Unfortunately, no - I've reinstalled Windows 10 on my Intel SATA SSD in the meantime, and am awaiting further ideas from forums, as I'm fresh out of ideas.
 
Hi Miasmata, I have a couple of Samsungs SSD's although I've no experience yet with a m.2 drive. Something easy you could try which may narrow the diagnosis down is to put a live linux or another O/s on a DVD if you have a DVD drive, or if not put it on a flash drive and run your system off that just to check its not some other hardware issue. I know its not the same but its ever so easy to try and just might highlight the issue in something else other than the drive/driver.

I dont know but if you have an old sata hard drive and cable you could see if that works ok as well, you can download and use win 10 legally for free and again it may show an issue not related to your SSD. If you do this method remove the SSD first as 2 bootable drives are never a good mix?
 
Well running Windows 10 currently on my older Intel SATA SSD yields 0 problems whatsoever, so I'm led to believe it has something to do with the NVMe drive itself, or something software related like the NVMe controller.
 
I just don't see the difference between running Linux on a flash drive and Windows on a different drive. Does Linux even yet have support for NVMe?
 
I haven't yet been able to come to a conclusion as to what the problem might be so I'll be getting the 960 back on warranty and seeing if a new one perhaps doesn't have the problem. At the very least my PC is running normally while the OS is installed on my Intel SSD, so I'll get back to everyone once I have the 960 replaced.
