I have a pair of ASUS Vivobook laptops with Kingston NVMEs.

While running the factory install of Windows, those NVMEs would cause a BSOD every third or so boot. Clean install didn't help either, nor any driver or firmware update.

No Linux install has shown any signs of problems.

Model or at least year of that SSD? Early on Kingston used faulty controllers that randomly fail to initiate and degrade with power cycles.
