    Hi, i tried again, 13 hours, pass 4, 0 errors.

      Thank you, that for me, rules out the memory.

        Hard drives
        KINGSTON SUV400S37120G (SSD)

        Partition 1
        Partition ID: Disk #0, Partition #1
        Disk Letter: C:
        File System: NTFS
        Volume Serial Number: 3CF59656
        Size: 111 GB
        Used Space: 97 GB (87%)
        [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Free Space: 13,5 GB (13%)

        One problem I see is the lack of space and you are using a small drive for windows to be installed on. Minimal of 250-500 GB should be what is used.

        Windows requires on average 30% to 35% free space including 32 GB free space for updates, 7-10 GB reserved for future proofing on the C drive.
        This is not including and limited to what the system uses for backups, swap page and hibernate files.[/COLOR]

            It wasn’t that either, trying with Elden Ring I just had another freeze. I don’t know what to do anymore, I guess I’ll have to buy some new ram memories and pray for it to work otherwise I’ll have to save for a new graphics card

              Your biggest issue is the C drive is too full and you need to replace is the best thing and or clean a lot out, so it has room to work properly before your data becomes corrupt.

              refer to post #18.

              Will that help yes will that fix it to clean it out depends on if there is data corruption or not.

                A few months ago I had 30 GB free and the problem persisted. I highly doubt that lack of space is the problem

                  of course that may be true, but the lowest hanging fruit is usually the best place to start!
                  sometimes we can’t see Problem B because Problem A is in the way.

                  I have more of a concern with the SMART RAW Values.
                  Yes, SMART figures can be taken with a grain of salt, and many are vendor specific, and many manufacturers don’t follow the standard, but it’s all we have.

                  the Kingston 120GB SSD is showing the same amount of errors for Read Error Rate, Hardware ECC Recovered, Soft ECC Correction, and Read Error Retry Rate.
                  more info on those specific attributes here; Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology - Wikipedia

                  similarly, all the other drives also have weird RAW values in error sections where you would expect a zero value.

                  personally, I’d be having little faith in the integrity of my storage devices and start considering rationalizing the four down to two.
                  a nice big 1TB SSD and a 4TB HDD.
