Setting up and testing my new system (after wasting nearly 1 month
with bad RAM modules), I got this error today:

I really don't understand what it means, but the "timeout", "hard
resetting link" and "invalid CHS sector 0" look scary to me...

How new is this motherboard? One may see something similar if one connects a SATA2 drive to an older SATA motherboard without the jumper (on the drive) set to restrict it to 1.5 Gbps.

Stroller.
