Hello,

I appear to be having issues with my Kingston HyperX Fury SSD, when I play games I get bsods usually related to windows kernel. It happens randomly with different games and it first started happening with GTA5 when it was released on PC this year and now just recently I've been having issues with Fallout 4 and even games like Car Simulator 2015. Other games that I play frequently are Counter Strike Global Offensive and Dota2 I get no crashes whatsoever.

My SSD is set to AHCI mode and I've checked the health on my SSD using HDTune and all tests came out good without any problems.

I'm not sure if firmware upgrades help but I looked into updating my SSD firmware but the latest update on their website is 580ABBF0, using the Kingston SSD Toolbox tells me my SSD is running 600ABBF0.

I did tests earlier this year to isolate what might be the cause and took out my SSD for a few months and used my HDD for a while to test if I got any more blue screens, while using my HDD I had no blue screens while playing GTA5 at the time. I recently plugged in my SSD again and thought the problems somehow vanished but the issues have resurfaced again.

While that might be a logical suggestion, I would rather see if I could fix my SSD then dump it somewhere and not use it... but thanks anyway.

you can put it in the freezer for 30mins to an hour. But put it in a zip lock bag first. that works sometimes, but its temporary, you will have to copy your files quickly.

Okay well I apologise for not taking you seriously, but I don't think that method will help with my SSD but thanks anyway.
