Title says it all: my 970 EVO plus 2TB was installed in a ICY BOX expansion slot and the new 990 Pro was installed on the M2_1 slot of the motherboard. Samsung magician spotted the nexw 990 Pro drive but stupidly enough, magician installed the 990 Pro's firmware on the 970 Plus!
Result: BSOD "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" and the 970 EVO plus was done with.
Removed the 970 EVO PLUS, run a macrium backup restore of my data on the 990 Pro. The firmware also installed succesfully on the right drive (990 Pro). So to remember how important backups are (and I make 2 of them), also for NVME drives!
After putting the 970 EVO PLUS 2TB in an external drive (also ICY box): I saw it was recognized in the BIOS as a 990 Pro drive: wrong! So this gives me the clue why the 970 evo can't be accessed anymore.
Of course, that samsung software plays dumb and does not recognize it either 😡.
So now is there a tool of sorts to revert that firmware back to the original 970 EVO PLUS somehow?
