How to stop Intel 760P 512GB from crashing in Tomb Raider?
This was a joke. In a game with such detailed environments, my PC felt like a dinosaur that decided to quit every time a large model loaded. The Intel 760P's controller voltage was jumping between 0.9V and 1.1V, causing severe checksum errors during sector reads, which triggered the BSOD. I tried lowering the texture resolution, but while the FPS went up, the crashes stayed exactly the same—a complete waste of time. I used the Intel Memory and Storage Tool to flash the latest stable firmware and set the disk power state to 'Always On' in the Windows power options. During a Prime95 stress test, the drive stopped throwing I/O errors and ran for four hours without a single crash. I did have a moment where the software froze and the drive disappeared from the system, but a quick M.2 reseat fixed it. Temps are 45-52℃. I've backed up the power profile now, but honestly, it's time to upgrade this old drive.
