For a few months I have been struggling with BSOD crashes when launching some games on my computer. I have had it happen with Microsoft Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Cyberpunk 2077, and a few other games. At first I thought it was an issue with the M.2 drive I had installed recently, but after shipping it to Samsung and a replacement being sent, the issues persist.

The BSOD seems to be more common on games installed on my M.2 drive. Games installed on my much smaller SSD typically do not have this issue.

    Hi Tristan,

    You may need to provide more details on the BSOD. Find the Bug check event log entry and provide the stop code and parameters. That MAY provide an answer but will at least be a good place to start.

    Regards
