I've been trying to download a large game on my PC, but during the process, the screen goes black and then it opens in the BIOS. While poking around in the BIOS, I noticed that my SSD seems to power down. This has never happened before, and I find it odd since I usually don't have any issues with large downloads. It seems like the stress from the download is causing this problem. When I'm not downloading large files, my computer works perfectly fine. I'm hoping some tech experts can shed light on what's going on. The AI is no help either; it keeps offering complicated jargon that I don't understand. Any advice would be appreciated!

If your SSD is powering down, it might be failing. Usually, SSDs handle downloads well, so this could indicate an issue with the drive itself. I recommend checking the health of your SSD using a monitoring tool to see if it's nearing the end of its life. You might also want to ensure all your connections are secure and consider updating your firmware.
I totally get how frustrating this is! It might not necessarily mean your SSD is done for. Sometimes, when computers get overloaded, they can drop connections temporarily. Try downloading smaller files in chunks to see if that helps. If the issues keep happening, it could be worthwhile to try a different SSD to rule out any hardware glitches.
