Windows 10 PC crashing after installing 660p 2TB

GFurb — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 06:48:29 GMT

System was incredibly stable before, but since installing intel 660p, it's been crashing intermittently. Sometimes a blue screen appears, other times it just freezes. The blue screen error is not consistent.

Windows 10 Pro, version 1809, build 17763.253

I can provide additional system details as necessary.

Are you sure you don't have a power problem?

Hadn't considered it, but I'm pretty sure. System's power supply is over-spec'd and it's running on a UPS, so it's not a grounding or supply issue. The board should be able to handle it; 16x slot

Over-spec'd power supplies never go bad? Try a different power supply and eliminate that as a variable.

I don't have a spare power supply to test, but the system doesn't crash except when the intel 660p is connected, and (I believe) only during read/write operations.
