I'm still on an Asus V Extreme with a 2014 5930k CPU.
Today I needed to access another boot drive so I turned off, pulled out all the drives including the usual M.2 boot drive and installed my secondary boot drive on its own (all SSDs).
Accessed it fine, did what I was supposed to do.
Then pulled the secondary boot drive out and replaced all the drives that were in before.
Got BSOD "stopcode error".
Kept restarting it, error kept happening. Pulled drive in and out, pulled all other drives out and left only boot drive... nothing worked.
Luckily I created a restore point earlier in the day so was able to get into advanced settings and do system restore which got me back into Windows 10.
This has happened before... usually eventually get it working by just keeping the PC off for 10 mins and starting it again. One time I tried to access a secondary boot drive while the original boot drive was still in... this completely corrupted the original boot drive and I had to spend multiple days backing up and do a fresh install of Windows.
I'm running 2014 hardware... does this still happen with newer builds? Seems kind of ridiculous how stuff goes wrong when you do everything correctly.
A simple boot drive switch and all hell breaks loose. I can't even risk duel booting on this PC... have to get a laptop if I want a separate partition to test stuff on.
Please tell me manufacturers sorted this out and I won't have to deal with it when I upgrade?
