Hello, I see you're facing some challenges. The issue seems to occur when your PC is under load, like during gaming, and it crashes with a boot error. You mentioned trying to set the SSD as the primary boot drive temporarily, which helped once. It happens occasionally and isn't consistent. The cables appear fine, and your SSD model and BIOS are up to date. Microsoft Windows 10 Home (x64) version 10.0.19043 is running, but it crashes during certain games. Could you share more details or ask for advice on troubleshooting? Thanks, Simon

Consider swapping the SATA cable. You mentioned you verified it, so what specific action did you attempt? Experiment with another SATA port. If available for that device, verify and refresh the firmware, but proceed after testing the alternatives first.

Thanks! The new cable and different port worked fine, and I haven't experienced any issues.
