The firmware's (I have 2 990 Pro's in the R16) are current and so is the Dell BIOS.
This R16 is random but frequent (every day or so) just a spontaneous reboot (almost always when left alone, idle) and when it tries to boot up after a crash, it can't find a boot drive (so the Support Assist screen shows), and it just stays on that screen until you power down. Upon startup, it boots fine. Never had a problem booting normally, but when it crashes, it can't seem to find a drive to boot from again until a power cycle. This may be it! Willing to try that FULL PERFORMANCE MODE if you can please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I had the same issues you described with another 990 Pro (purchased new) that I RMA's. The replacement is working fine but only under the Full Perf. Mode. Think that whenever the SSD goes idle for too long or goes to sleep, the R16 just loses it requiring a power cycle to fix. Hope this helps - let me know if works on your end

This reminds me of another issue with Dell and a certain brand SSD (Nexstorage) I had a couple years ago. In Dell desktops (Inspiron, Optiplex and 2 different Alienware R13's) with this drive installed, the drive would disappear on a reboot and took a few cold boots to get it to luck into seeing the drive. It wasn't just a bad SSD...I had tried many new Nexstorage 1TB and 2TB NVMe SSD's and they all did it. Just even a warm reboot and POOF! -- drive gone. I finally stopped buying Nexstorage.
Thanks.
If issues are fully fixed, you have the option to upgrade to a larger heatsink. Or just trust the 5 year warranty
