This is getting old. I have an issue and I think it's to do with Steam. I had another storage drive do the same thing to me. It too was used as a steam drive. For some reason the drive will freeze up with 100% utilization and 0 KB read and write. It will crash or just not open any game when it starts this. I could not figure out the issue and ran scans etc on the old drive and it came back clean, but was sure it had to be the HDD. I have a clean install of windows 10, a new mobo, and the other drives work fine. So, I returned the old drive and got a new one in a different brand. Now its doing the same thing at random.
It will download games onto itself alllll day. I can sometimes get it to let me play and other times it will lock up like it shows in the picture below. I have cleared steams download cache. I have googled for the issue. I have done everything I know to do. Any suggestions? I doubt its the drive. What could cause it?
