Days Gone keeps crashing to desktop during large map loads on my Zhitai TiPro9000 Limited Edition, do I need to adjust virtual memory?

Every time I rode into a new zone, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop without a single error code, which was incredibly stressful. The Zhitai TiPro9000 Limited Edition 4TB struggled with massive streaming assets because the LBA sector alignment was slightly off, causing checksum errors during 4KB small-file writes that triggered a process kill. I first tried lowering the texture quality to reduce the load, but I just lost 10% performance and it still crashed occasionally—a complete waste of time. I eventually ran a professional sector alignment tool and locked my virtual memory page size to 4096MB to stop the constant mapping table updates. After five straight stress tests, the storage errors dropped from 3 per hour to zero. I did have a scare where a power failure during the alignment caused a boot loop, but scanning for bad blocks fixed it. The drive stayed between 48℃ - 55℃. Verified the mapping stability via the motherboard utility, and the system is finally rock steady.
