Issues with freezing and stuttering on a new SSD during gameplay
Issues with freezing and stuttering on a new SSD during gameplay
In short, you've experienced issues with your new 2TB Crucial BX500 drive after replacing it for your old HDD. Initially, everything worked fine, but recently games started crashing or slowing down unexpectedly. You suspect the problem might be related to a loose SATA connection or another hardware issue. You’ve already run diagnostics and scanned the drive, but the problem persists. You’re considering upgrading your motherboard or installing new chipset drivers, and you have a PC log file available for reference.
Hey there! This drive seems to be struggling with performance—no DRAM cache means it loses speed fast. I’d probably reattach the SATA and power cables, run an integrity check on any games that keep crashing, and think about swapping it out for a model with actual caching.
Sure, I’ll likely opt for a slightly smaller 1TB Samsung 870 Evo since it includes DRAM. Also, think about getting a secure SATA cable that fits snugly.
Sure, just make sure you're not constantly adjusting the case and you'll be okay with standard SATA cables.
Sure, glad you're considering it. Right now I have an AM4 chipset motherboard, which means I could potentially upgrade for better performance. Adding an AM5 board would be a good step forward, especially since I already have a Ryzen 2700X, 16GB of 3200 RAM, and an RTX 570. It would be worth the extra cost if it means more power and future-proofing, especially with NVIDIA support.
