Hello guys, it's my first time posting here, sorry if say something in the wrong or that sort of thing.
So let's go to the problem:
I've recently build a PC Gaming Rig. I've done everything as it's said to be and everything worked really fine. One week ago the 1Tb 7.2K HDD that I used for everything turned to RAW instead of NTFS before it passed out, so I've bought a brand new Sandisk SSD for Windows and programs and installed an old 250Gb HDD for games and personal stuff.
Everything worked fine with the 1Tb HDD, I've bought The Witcher 3 from GOG and was hitting 30 hours of gameplay. No high temperatures since the Seidon 120V was more than enough. My GPU was running at a max of 70 Celsius.
When I switched to the SSD everything was fine too, I reinstalled The Witcher 3 and downloaded other games: Mirror's Edge Catalyst, DOOM (Reboot) and Project CARS. But I founded myself in a problem that I can't find a way to solve.
When I lauch these games I play for like 5-10min and then the screen freezes completely but the sound still continues in the background. It's not a shortage of memory since the max usage of RAM while playing its like 60%. If I try to minimize the game with Windows+M it doesn't work, if I try to summon Task Manager it doesn't work either. Mouse pointer can't be seem on screen, nothing works. The only thing I can do is turn off my PC either unplugging the power chord or pressing the power button for 10s.
Firstly I tought the problem was with the Samsung 250Gb HDD so I copied the games to the SSD one by one and tested to see if the problem persisted only to see that the problem endured. All of them failed in boot storage devices after 5-10min. I also tried to change the SATA ports with no success. I did chkdsk in both storages, reinstalled the drivers, even did a new clean installation of Windows but the issue continued. I've turned off my internet, added the games to Windows Defender Exceptions and nothing. The problem continued. My parts are brand new so I'm very upset about this since I really want to complete my games during my break from college.
Please help guys.
