Background: I have Arch installed currently on SSD, with the NVME installed just not used as the primary OS drive. Its been there for about 1 year with no issues.
Recently I decided to install Debian and figured I would install to the NVME. I got it installed and booted fine, but randomly from 5-60 mins, it constantly crashes. Crashes range from screen freeze, (although mouse moves but cant click), constant long beep and freeze, and even some small beeps. I have to physically reboot it each time. I am not sure if this is hardware-related since the NVME drive has been installed for years under Arch with no real issues.
Settings/changes: I have since updated the BIOS (Asus X99 Sabertooth) to the very latest: 3801. I have updated the Samsung NVME firmware to the latest 2B0QBXX7. I installed the latest Debian kernel using backports: 4.14.x I also tried to disable the APST setting it in the grub menu on boot (Autonomous Power State Transition) and it still locks up after a few mins the same exact way.
I HAVE booted to the Debian grub menu, and dropped down to the grub command line, and left it there overnight. It was perfect and was fully functioning in the morning. So something with booting a Linux kernel running on the NVME seems to be the issue?
I seen a few other posts regarding a possible bug with NVME and the Kernel, but figured by now this latest kernel should have fixed the issues?

Any help is appreciated!
