Hii Community/HP Repair service,
I have already sent out my HP Omen laptop 15-ax251nb [Personal Information Removed] back twice (LCD troubles + sudden freezes BSOD + FAN broken) for repairs about sudden BSOD's, and WHEA logger issues pointing out to hardware failure. My laptop always comes back from HP and nothing has changed or has been repaired besides the LCD and FAN. They didn't find any extra hardware issues what so ever.
Although the evidence I provide to HP is very clear. I started having these Intel PCI-express Root port #9 errors (as seen in this photo below), so at first I thought it was due to bad or faulty outdated drivers by Intel (Vendor ID 0x8086).
My FAN's RPM revs up-and down when these WHEA errors occur (Probably the reason of premature FAN Bearing failure).
I have updated everything from top to bottom. HP assistant, HP website itself, BIOS, Windows updates, Intel Driver updater, DSIM, SFC Scan and every driver/Windows integrity/UEFI Diagnostics checkup, everything checked out fine. Still I had these sudden BSOD's from time to time and these WHEA Logger issues. So I started digging further into the details of the error. I started realizing the device that is coupled at this port is de Samsung SSD 960 NVMe PCIe SSD.
After trying the look at the Samsung Support/Driver website, I found A firmware upgrade for the retail version of this type of SSD. But after I tried to install it, the firmware updater immediately stopped me and said it wouldn't install due to not OEM part (You will have to contact your original manufacturer for updates). The reason this is, is because HP uses bulk version of this type of SSD's to put in there laptop's.
So I have 50 days warranty left, and no clue or solution..
Really getting tired of digging out these problems, while HP should be doing the proper diagnostics.
: What else can I try to get rid of this problem?
Repair Center: Why are you still not recognizing this problem? Updates for this type of SSD ?
Thanks to any helpers!
