Why is my Great Wall GW3300 256GB crashing in Battlefield V?
Right in the middle of a firefight, the game would just throw a memory access violation and crash to desktop, which is the ultimate mood killer. My Great Wall GW3300 256GB only had 15GB left, and it was hitting massive write latencies—sometimes up to 200ms—when handling swap files. I tried clearing the Temp folders, but I only freed up 2GB, and the crashes kept happening; it was a total waste of effort. I eventually used a partition tool to perform a 4K alignment and left 20% of the drive as unallocated space for over-provisioning. After that, the crashes during map loads completely stopped, and boot times improved by about 3 seconds. I actually had a scare where the system wouldn't boot after the partition change, but I just had to reset the boot priority in BIOS. Temps are stable at 35-42℃. The storage mode is finally stable, but the small capacity is still a bottleneck.
