Have you checked for any issues with your SSD health? It might be due to a faulty sector, Windows or drivers, or a problematic driver. Have you used the DisayDriverInstaller Utility and performed a fresh driver installation? Additionally, consider updating the latest DirectX or .NetFramework versions.
Additionally, the situation varies by Samsung SSD model. A firmware upgrade might be necessary. Certain drives had outdated firmware causing them to report issues even though they were functioning properly. Note: This applies to the 980 Pro, 990, and 970 series.
Firmware has been updated. The Samsung Magician's "Diagnostic Scan" feature isn't active for this drive, but I can export the S.M.A.R.T. statistics if you're interested. I'm planning to reinstall DX, and switching to version 11 in Fortnite didn't resolve the issue. I've already tried fixing .Net, possibly considering a fresh install now.
When I upgraded my new motherboard, TPM2 should be included by default. My old unit had some temporary fixes for it (x470 gaming with 5 wifi), but those didn’t cause problems once I moved to the newer model. There were no overheating concerns either. I use a Cryorig single tower cooler that maintains temperatures well below 55°C, especially during idle when the fan speed stays low.
About DDU, drivers can become picky if you upgrade to a newer version, even with the "Perform Clean Install" choice. It seems this issue is more about driver compatibility. Would your GPU be an EVGA card?
Consider using BoostLock for the GPU, updating the motherboard BIOS, or enabling 5G encoding with a resizable bar in the BIOS settings. It might help. The issue could be related to RAM, possibly because of the new SSD installation or at least not directly tied to it.
