I recently tried reviving a dead GTX 1660 Ti in my PC. I was able to update the drivers then it stopped working again. I switched back to my GTX 1060 but now I'm having trouble with windows. For some reason, ntoskrnl.exe is taking hogging tremendous amounts of bandwidth on 2 of my Sandisk SSDs which I have partially mirrored. Should I just wait it out or is there something I can do. On extra piece of info is that it is reading from one and writing to another. I have included screen shots.

You know what I think I found out why. My mirrored disks seem to be re syncing right now because of windows not booting up properly with my broken gpu. Will this be an on going issue and can it harm my drives?

You will have to wait it out.

And writing to SSDs wear them out.

 

What SSDs do you use?

If there is going to be a constant writing to them then you should consider a NAS grade SSD or even Data center grade ones.

These are Sandisk 960gb drives from a friend at Western Digital. They are internal drives. I believe they are enterprise grade but I couldn't confirm that. I believe this is gonna be a one time thing as shown in this thread: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/raid-1-resyncing-how-to-fix-this-without-data-loss.2332277/ . The drives have finished syncing
