I'm running into a frustrating issue where a specific game causes my PC to blue screen whenever I launch it from my SSD. When I initially played the game on my standard hard drive, everything was fine, but I decided to switch to the SSD to avoid those annoying 5-minute load times. Unfortunately, now the game crashes my system at startup only on the SSD. I've tried reinstalling it fresh, verifying the game files, and I even checked the Event Viewer. Other games run without problems on the SSD, and moving the game back to the hard drive works perfectly, despite the slow load times. I've turned off the Bonjour service and deleted the second Microsoft GameInput as well. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this anomaly? I'm concerned I might be missing something important that could help resolve the issue.

To get to the bottom of this BSOD, you should upload your minidump files for analysis. Those files are crucial for diagnosing the cause of the crash. If you can get into Windows or Safe Mode, navigate to C:WindowsMinidump and see if there are any dump files there. If you find them, zip the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. The more dump files you can provide, the easier it'll be for someone to help you out!
Just a heads up, if your latest minidump files are dated back three months, you might want to check why they’re outdated. Ensuring your system is set to create new dump files when a BSOD occurs can help with ongoing troubleshooting!
