Hi everyone! I'm really in need of some help and advice because my SSD crashes while I'm gaming. It freezes for about 10 seconds and then resumes, but I also experience Windows crashes at the same time as the game crashes. I think I've identified the source of the issue; it seems like the SSD is getting overloaded since it spikes to 100% usage at times, and the game's textures stop loading just before the crash. If anyone has a miraculous solution, that would be amazing. Thanks a lot!

Before you rush into buying a new SSD, double-check the drive's health using a monitoring tool. If it's showing a health score of around 70%, that could mean it's still fine for now. It might be worth trying to free up some space or ensuring no background processes are hogging your SSD.
It sounds like your SSD might be on its last legs. If it’s constantly peaking at 100% usage, it could be time for an upgrade. I recommend getting a new SSD and letting your current one take a break—might solve those crashes for good!
