SSD Verifies Games too FAST making 100% Disk Usage then Blue Screen

[Praises_]

Steam downloaded COD: Warzone and it's trying to verify the game. However, my SSD is too fast, the game starts verifying at 2.6 Gbps/s (Disk Usage) while (Current) is 0 bps. The ETA of the game verifying starts at like 5 minutes then it starts to increase to a year + while my Disk Usage plummets to Kbps. Disk usage on Steam reaches 100% at 250mb/s in Task Manager then my PC slows to a stop, and freezes. Minutes later it takes its last breath and the blue screen of death is unleashed. Can someone tell me either how to throttle my SSD or fix this issue?

1) Graphics card driver in your CPU is being displace after the delivery of your CPU

2) one of your background program tried to access an "important windows file illegally" and thus it cause BSOD (this completely excludes Steam)

3) not enough RAM.

when you buy your computer, did you even checked how much RAM you got for your computer exactly.

4) randomly installing 3rd party programs and apps on Windows 11 will also cause BSOD

If get blue screen then you should've seen error message, if you missed it there windows log on it.

Depending on error message may give us a clue, also best check your storage drive for error.

Run SFC

[ReBoot]

Unless you've told Windows not to (and you would remember if you did), it saves a crash dump with a kernel panic (which a bluescreen ultimately is). Upload that crash dump for anyone, i.e. me, to analyze.

Bluescreeens are indicative of low level issues on your system . Applications can’t blue screen a modern OS. They only can crash the application itself.

Your event viewer will show you the faulting module that caused the BSOD.

You should run a full windows update

I tested avast once, they caused bsod. I needed several bsod to conclude that.

Things like anti-virus and drivers operate at a lower level in the OS where they have closer access to the kernel. Though these days even AV and bad drivers have to be really messed up to BSOD. They’re now segregated from the HAL layer so even these usually only crash the driver so faults are usually compartmentalized to that component.

But things that run in the user space like Steam really can’t BSOD a computer anymore. They can at best surface symptoms of a lower level issue. Similar to the apocryphal story of vanilla ice cream stalling a car, the ice cream isn’t stalling the car, it’s surfacing a symptom

Satoru,

your latest post reminds me of this

1) Valorant initial version of Anti cheat system where it cause BSOD for plenty of people who play Valorant.

I got a super Talent SSD ftm51n325h

"Max Read Rate: up to 530 MB/sec" according to specs which suggests speed is not the issue. My M. 2 storage has a read rate about 6-8 times faster than that and it verifies game integrity without any issues.

Good luck figuring out the cause though. Hopefully the good people here will be able to help. 👍
