The freezing happen approx once per day, seems more often when connected to my android mobile hotspot (may be unrelated).

“journalctl -p err” gives:

nvme 0000:03:00.0: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first
pcieport 0000:00:02.4: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first

The nvme error, happens approx 10x more often.

I am running a WD_BLACK SN850X 4000GB, Firmware: 624281WD

I tried the WD website to see if there is a FW update, but there are only windows/mac tools and no link directly to the FW (that I could find).

Update: it seems that the updated firmware has solved the issue, I have been running 4 days without a crash. Thanks to @rotopenguin@infosec.pub for pointing me to the Framework guide…why is this not on the WD website and easy to find.

    I have a zenbook as well (not the same model) and I only had problems with Windows. When coming back from suspension it would be hot and the screen had like white fog on the edges. I tried to fix it but with no success. Frustrated with that I decided to give Linux a try and never had that problem again.

    I assume you changed the ssd, I didn’t know that was possible, I thought it was soldered to the motherboard. Is it possible you received a faulty drive from WD?

      It has a standard m.2 slot (I did a bunch of research to confirm before purchase), RAM is soldered down unfortunately.

      I swapped the 1TB for a 4 as soon as I got it.

      I hope it isn’t faulty, I live in NZ and got it from Amazon in the US…a RMA is not something I’m keen on.
