Hello! I updated my Ryzen 3 3200 to a Ryzen 5 5600 and everything worked until I encountered issues with Overwatch and the E: drive. Then playing Apex caused crashes, leading me to suspect an E: disk problem. After running CrystalDiskInfo it showed the drive was in poor condition (yellow). I replaced it with an SSD, but the issue persisted—especially when trying League of Legends and CS:GO. Windows now restarts on the new drive whenever I launch those games. I also cleared CMOS beforehand. I'm unsure what's going on, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Specs: CPU - Ryzen 5 5600, GPU - NVIDIA GTX 980, RAM - 2x8GB, PSU - 500W.

Have you thought about the possibility that the SATA cable could be defective?

I don't agree, the new drive is an M.2 NVMe SSD. I also fully unplugged the previous HDD.

I changed to my previous CPU and everything looks okay. Might the power supply unit be the issue?

It's happening once more using the previous CPU. Anyone have any suggestions about what could be the reason?
