The TPM messages (if they are all about secureboot not being available) can be ignored for the moment - don't think they will likely be the issue.

You need to sort by date and time - that's your best hope of finding what the corresponding error might be related to e.g.

1723224840072.png


The WHEA errors are Windows Hardware errors - there may be a corresponding device error in the event log timestamped at a similar moment.

Also, expand the WHEA errors - it gives device information as to the faulting device, e.g.:
Event 17, WHEA-Logger
"A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Component: PCI Express Root Port
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)

Primary Bus: Device:Function: 0x0:0x1B:0x4
Secondary Bus: Device:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
Primary Device Name: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7AC4&SUBSYS_86941043&REV_11"

A PCI express root port is unlikely to be the issue (unless the PCH is literally dying) - more likely what is plugged (or wired in a laptop) in to that port.

Hmmm, does the laptop have more than one M.2 socket? Could try swapping it to other one - make sure it's enabled in the BIOS - it should be a straight swap and the Windows Boot Manager UEFI entry **should** just function as normal.

Can't say I'm surprised if it is storage link / device - usually my favourite source of unexplained long pauses... at least with old spinning disks you could hear the clicks of death...
May not be dying drive - potentially NVMe driver might fix such a bug.

Are there any 'Disk' or 'ntfs' errors in the system event log?

Actually there is no option for change except TPM its so locked bios.

There is no disk or ntfs errors in logs. I will install driver for ssd now.

Is there a way to clean this logs? I wanna test it from now because there is random errors from 9-10 day before

You can clear the log and save the old contents also if you want - you can also save a selection of log entries. You can't clear up to a certain time or date - it's all or nothing.

Well, if there is no option to enable/disable M.2 slots I expect both are active then.

Looking at the info I can find for the laptop it looks like there are 2x M.2 slots you can use (bottom of picture):

Assuming this is the right thing of course.

EDIT: Side note... if it is as standard only 1 stick of RAM, that is leaving a bit of performance on the table... DDR4 laptop RAM is probably as cheap as it's gonna be - assuming this problem is fixable, that's some pretty low hanging fruit, and having 32GB wouldn't hurt long term.

I have 2X8 16 gb RAM. But if i change the ssd slot the first one will continue to work right? Whats the difference between them

The slot will still be active but no device connected. So nothing will happen with it - just like on a normal PC motherboard if a slot is empty. All being well the SSD will work in the other slot (preferably with or without error - if the errors persist it may be a problem with the SSD (firmware, overheating, defective, etc.), if they don't then might be some other issue with system (PCH overheating?? - doesn't look likes it's cooled and might get a bit toasty next to GPU heatpipe)).

The difference might be how they are electrically connected - I'm not sure how the CPU is wired / capable of without looking in to it, but it may be that one slot is wired direct to the CPU and the other via the PCH PCIe lanes (the chip at the top of the picture next to the WiFi M.2 socket). In terms of raw functionality, there shouldn't be a difference between using either for SSD, but one may be PCIe v3 and the other only PCIe V2 - depends on chipset - based on being 10th gen 'core' I'd assume both sockets are v3 capable.

EDIT: Nevermind - looking at the diagram for the CPU / PCH, all PCIe lanes except for the GPU come from the PCH and are all PCIe3 standard.

Pull out the SSD and re-insert it.

Also, the storahci issue was a thing that I only saw in an early version of Windows 10. It was 1511 or 1507. It actually was less likely to occur if you use a platter drive! How ironic!

Storahci issues can/will happen with SATA/AHCI drive issues - although yeah, messed up driver handling can always be an issue.

Isnt it so low? I tried to unlocking gpu mhz and removing cpu 0 from CS2 and increasing CPU mhz but still around %50-70 and its still drops a lot of when i see enemy. Its unplayable still. I am so depressed. This happens for almost 3 years and i am bored enough

Can you record it using something like OBS or Nvidia's driver Shadow Play screen recording?

OK, so after a bit of a test.... I was wrong... the source engine is constantly reloading map / model data every round:

This is a quick session log from an online game using process monitor:

First lines is the end of the pre-start buying stuff and loading assets....
1723243821159.png

.... Right through to me speed running to getting shot by enemy

You can see that after 22 seconds (23:31:53 -> 23:32:15) I encounter an enemy and additional assets get loaded, and it eventually has to load another asset to show the person who sniped me (23:32:43).

Time to ask some basic questions should have asked before really:

1) Have you checked the SSD SMART information at all?
CrystalDiskInfo is as good as any tool for showing that
1723244295220.png


2) Have you done a quick RAM test? Windows has its own (start->run / type at the command line: mdsched)

First, thanks for your big effort bro. Its weird to loading model data every round or when u see it. There was a launch option called cl_forcepreload and i think it was pre loading models, textures. They disabled it i think. And i did memtest and it passed. I think i shared it at the first of the subject
1723245562078.png


Wait after a little bit search people saying they added back. I am going to test it now.

Cool, can you switch the raw values to decimal? It makes it a lot easier to read and notice values changing (no leading 0's for starters). You can do that by going to Function -> Advanced Feature -> Raw Values -> 10[DEC]

1723246154203.png


ID Values I think that may be of most interest are probably 0A, 0E, and 0F.
Just keep doing whatever you normally do and run CrystalDiskInfo every so often. It will track the values changing (if they change), and you can use the Function->Graph feature to see how much they changed over time.

I changed it to 10[DEC] as you said. Btw i added some launch commands to CS2 and enabled MSAA 2X and it became much more stable. I didnt notice *important* shutter. Sometimes it just happens when the round ends but its ok for now. Here is a result of match i played now.

Should i send the values now for the checking it later?

Up to you - could put them in the thread for reference.

If you keep CrystalDiskInfo running / make it run at startup it will keep a log of the values and if/when they change over time.
0F which is 'Number of Error Information Log Entries' may increase over time normally - unfortunately that attribute logs if the drive gets sent any invalid requests as well as if there are actual drive errors.
0A which is 'Controller Busy Time' contains the amount of time the controller is busy with I/O commands - a drive that's struggling to read/write data properly may end up spending a lot of time 'busy'. From what I can tell this value is in minutes so really, with a PCIe v3 interface and normal desktop usage this value should increment pretty slowly.

Guys my Honeywell PTM 9750 just arrived and applied it. Temperatures are so good now it doesnt go above 75 degrees even with 4000 Mhz. But my problem is still continue. I downloaded the steel series app for mouse and its more freezing now. Its like gluing on the screen and moves so bad. Sometimes it doesnt even turn. I cant even enjoy the games now :c

I already changed my mouse to steelseries prime from g300s. Didnt even pass 6 months and still same since i bought. I had the same problems (even more) with g300s

Can you post some screenshots of what your settings are in the BIOS, specifically under the sections:
USB Configuration, Chipset Configuration, Type C support, and CPU Configuration

Sadly the screenshot you sent is unlocked/modded bios.
