Also, why do you use task manager to close games? Games like to be closed by not being forced by a task manager and instead being closed by save/quit function inside the game itself. 

I have no choice to close it from task manager with newZ sadly but i wasnt have the problem with my normal 1TB HDD

idk. Just seems like a problem with the game's full screen mode. Is there a posibility to play in windowed and add letterboxing?

The point isnt the game because i played the game on a HDD and when it crashed i could close it with ease

Is this the only program which causes this issue? If so it could be an issue with the game.

I suggest you try running the game in windowed mode and see what happens.

Are you booting from the SSD or the old HDD?

This doesn't sound like an issue which is usually caused by the disk.

So you have steam and the game installed on the SSD? Do any other programs cause your PC to crash if you close them in Task Manager?

An ssd is just a place for information to be stored and read. The software between the game and task manager don't have much to do with the ssd. Try my suggestion as sometimes not all games are really good at supporting full screen and windows. Just like skyrim
