Issue with M.2 SSD freezing during high usage and triggering BSOD.
Issue with M.2 SSD freezing during high usage and triggering BSOD.
Hello, I purchased a Gen 3 M.2 SSD to use as a boot drive, and it functions properly for playing GTA V. However, after a short time, the drive freezes when I try to launch any game, requiring a BSOD to proceed. The system runs an i5 10400 F processor on an ASUS 390 Prime motherboard with a GTX1660 graphics card, 3200 CL16 RAM, and an 850W PSU. Windows is updated regularly, but no firmware updates are available from the manufacturer. The BIOS defaults with no RAID or XMP enabled, and the drive is a 256 GB silicon power Gen 3 SSD.
The blue screen error occurs due to system instability. Is the SSD the sole new component? Was Windows reinstalled on the SSD or moved from an older drive? How much space is occupied by the SSD?
You have a specific error message. To identify if it originates from the SSD, check for signs like random data loss, frequent crashes, or unusual fan noise. Look for patterns in the error codes or messages displayed.
the ssd is the sole new component making the system work properly, using the hdd as a boot drive. the ssd is only 70% filled with data. i installed a brand new windows copy, attempted to run gta only on the ssd while keeping the hdd for booting, but the issue continues.
