Continuing SSD issues pls help

[CSGOaddict]

I'm about to freak out.

 

Okay so this happened: (Honestly just read the title nothing else matters)

 

Basically, I thought i fixed it by replacing my SATA cable, thought that was faulty, but didn't work.

So today i looked at my BIOS version (idk why i didn't do this first) but its at P1.30 , updated to P1.50 (ASRock B450M Pro4-f). Didn't work. (Have a Ryzen 3 1200)

 

I saw a solution on Steam forums to go to msconfig and set your core count to your CPUs actual core count. Doesn't seem to have worked?

 

I have a 113 gigs left on my 512 gig ssd - and when i try to download GTA V (pretty big game btw), when steam is doing its first "allocating space" part, the pc starts to slow down. I don't really want to wait and see if it will completely freeze again. (SSD: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07STTK4TM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

 

Noticed a 100% disk usage btw during these downloads. They're also choppy af. Downloads work fine when putting it on a flash drive (used a 32gig flashdrive and started a rocket league download from steam to test)

 

I'm honestly clueless at this point. Starting to think it's a faulty drive. No response from Patriot support yet.

 

Please help. I have 0 clue at this point.

Look at your even log, under System. See if there are any red Xs that relate to disk.

Also, download and run CrystalDiskInfo, and post screenshot of what it says about your drive.

Would help if I could spell right huh?

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> System.

Sort by Level, look for Red Xs, especially related to "disk"

Seeing errors and red exclamations next to "Service Control Manager"

Seeing lots of warnings next to "DistributedCOM"

 

EDIT: Also 1 error next to "Volsnap"

Those are not important (and, as it turns out, quite common, worry not)

That might be interesting, you can post a screenshot without leaking any personal info, crop if you like, or copy and paste the error here

That'd be it.

 

Now that's not a hard drive issue, if you are certain you've gone through all the System logs for Red Xs, and none have to deal with "disk" then it's highly unlikely it's the drive (as in physical defects that is, might still be a software corruption.)

Okay, I can keep going through it but im back at logs from a week ago and there have been no red Xs next to anything "disk".

 

Do you have any other thoughts as to what it could be?

Let me read your other thread and think upon this.

Just off the top of my head, without reading the thread:

 

You do not have XMP enabled, or any sort of overclocking?

Okay so I have my "XMP Profile" that was already there enabled for my ram so it runs at 2666 instead of 2133 i think it was??

XMP Profile

I have seen more issues here at LTT relating to XMP being on, than almost all other threads combined. Turn it off, see how your system behaves.

So should I try downloading GTA again and see if my system starts to crash to test that after?

Please.

 

Also, you can pull up your task manager, and sort by CPU or Disk usage, see what's chewing up your resources.

Sorted by disk:

Steam Client Bootstrapper, "System", and "Antimalware Service Executable" and Chrome are at the top. Steam is mostly chewing on disk, system spikes sometimes.

 

CPU is consistently less that 13% in total.

 

Memory is less than 50% on total but anti malware executable is 313, which is the most right now, then chrome, then steam web helper and steam bootsrapper.

 

PC started freezing really badly as of writing this, and it was sudden, so i cancelled the download. It was still in the allocating disk space part.

ALSO IM GETTING AUDIBLE BEEPS THROUGH MY HEADPHONES LIKE IN THE LAST POST 

1 short beep, five seconds later, 4 short beeps. We thought these were mobo beep codes in that last post.

 

Im restarting my PC now.

Pc was performing poorly after cancelling download as well. Froze completely. Had to hard shut down but this time it booted up fine unlike other times where id be stuck on the asrock screen for ages.

 

 

EDIT: Pc still freezing with nothing but chrome on...

Finished reading your other posts. Sounds like a bad board OR bad RAM.

RAM can be tested with (and *only* with) Memtest86. If that checks out fine, then your board is likely bad

bad

Restarting for the 3rd time now. Downloading memtest.

You will burn to CD or USB, and run for many many hours.

If the RAM is really bad, you should get errors almost immediately. Otherwise run until it completes a test. Report back

Yup, boot your PC from USB.

Test, to be certain takes 24 hours *minimum* to clear the RAM, unless it's bad in which case you'll start seeing errors immediately.
