Stop Intel 760P 512GB from crashing in Where Winds Meet?
Every time I entered a new zone, the game would just vanish at 80% loading. The uncertainty was honestly stressing me out. Compared to high-end 1TB drives, the Intel 760P 512GB's endurance and cache just can't keep up with modern open-world assets, with I/O latency spiking to 110-140ms. I tried running a disk defrag to help, which was a huge mistake—it didn't stop the crashes and just made my boot times longer. I eventually manually locked my page file between 16GB-32GB and flashed the latest official Intel NVMe drivers. The 0x000000 disk I/O errors in Event Viewer completely vanished. I did have two more crashes early on, but moving the page file to a faster partition finally stabilized it. SSD temps are steady at 40-48℃, and VRMs are around 50-55℃. After 10 cold boot tests, the crashes are gone and the system is finally dialled in.
