Has anyone experienced anything like this and can advise? I hope I've explained the problem clearly. I'm building a budget PC just to experiment with (hardware list below). The motherboard has 2 x PCIe M.2 SSD slots which I want to populate as follows:-
Samsung V-Nand 950 Pro (PCIe) with Windows 11 Pro 22H2 Primary Boot Device
Samsung V-Nand 860 EVO (SATA) with Linux Fedora 38 Secondary Boot Device
With either SSD installed on its own (in either slot), everything works fine but when both SSDs are installed and I boot Windows, the monitor blacks out for a few seconds and then come back on. It usually stabilises after doing this 6 or 7 times but sometimes, even after the desktop is fully loaded, it will black out when I launch a browser (Firefox, Edge). There's no issue with Linux with or without the Windows SSD installed.
On the chance that the Windows SSD might be faulty, I swapped it with another identical one on my main desktop PC but this made no difference. I'm wondering if this could be something to do with mixing SATA and PCIe SSDs?
Thanks for reading.
