Hello.

So i am experiencing very unusual behaviour in my system, it (what feels like random) stop responding (complet power shutdown is needed in this case, reset button won't work/respond) or it completely reboots itself.
I usually happens when i put the system under load (mainly gaming) with in the first 5-10 mins, it doesn't happen all the time, other times i can play without any incidents and everything is working fine, then just out of the blue it happens again.

I am motoring the heat in my system both on GPU and on CPU and i don't see any alarming temperatures.
An extract from the "Event Viewer" in windows is attached (don't know it it helps).

System specs.:
Intel Core i7 8700K
64 GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
Sys drive: Samsung SSD 850 250 GB
D:\ Samsung SSD 860 4 TB
E:\ Samsung 7200 rpm 1 TB
F:\ Samsung 7200 rpm 500 GB
Z:\ Seagate 7200 rpm 1 TB
Windows 10 Pro - 64-bit Preview edition
HID: Cooler Master - Masterkeys Lite L (mouse & keyboard combo)

Corsair builder series cx 750W
When i calculate the power consumption my compute should take during "load", it should be 680W
I calculate on the high side of things:

CPU (Intel i7-8700k): 95W
Motherboard (MSI Z370 A-Pro): 130W
RAM: 12W (4 x 3W)
GPU (GeForce RTX 2060): 350W
Hard Drives (SSD): 6W (2 x 3W)
Hard Drives 3,5": 27W (3 x 9W)
Blu-ray: 30W
Chassi Fans: 30W (5 x 6W)

most of the drives are showing SMART errors.
only have the C:\ drive connected and run the rig for a few days and see if that helps.

Are you overclocking your ram in the bios.
Are you using MSI afterburner.
Click to expand...
No, i don't overclock RAM, CPU or GPU. (edit: correction, an XMP profile was loaded in BIOS, it is now disabled, lets see if the system is stabilising now)
It is installed, i used it to control the fan of the GPU (no overclocking) at one point, i don't use it anymore so it can be uninstalled...

Hello.
So i read about the TMP errors, but since i already had the lates BIOS i opted for downgrading to the 2:nd latest BIOS.
The latest BIOS is currently in BETA stage and have been so for the last 2 years or so...

My system seems more stable now, and it is not showing any more TMP errors in the event log.
However now i get "MDM Declared Configuration" error instead.

i got 5 Hard drives of various age, i have no clue on the age of them, i thing the newest is around 2-3 years old and the oldest up to or beyond 10 years...
so how do i solve those TRIM/Defrag errors?

I would start replacing the drives one at a time with ssd drives.
Click to expand...
ok, even the 4 TB SSD drive?
the 250 GB SSD - SYS drive is "too small" so i need to change that anyway.

My motherboard only has one M.2 NVMe port, what do you recommend, have it (M.2) as a SYS drive or GAMEING drive?
Should i buy a "smaller" drive (if SYS) and only have SYS on it or could i buy a bigger drive and partion it?

all non-ssd will be replaced with one SSD down the line...

you can close thin now, the system feels stable now since the downgrade of the BIOS, i will change the drives over time when the economy allows it...
