Hi,
I've recently started encountering an issue when my computer is under load (playing games). This being that my SSD's (2) and HDD (1) disconnect and reconnect over and over until eventually my pc just freezes up as a result of it losing connection to the SSD holding my OS i'm guessing.
This issue only seems to occur when my computer runs something stressful. I was able to fully reinstall windows, drivers, applications, and games on one of my SSD's without the issue happening. After all that, I left it on just doing regular tasks such as browsing, watching youtube videos, listening to music, etc. (about 3 hours or so) and it ran perfectly fine, but after trying to play a game on it again the issue still remained. I'll last like 5-10 mins in the game before the problem starts occurring.

- Temperatures all seem normal, nothing out of the ordinary.
- I've ran SeaTools smart check, ran chkdsk, and other disk error checks and nothing came up on either of my drives.
- I've also tried swapping my SATA cables around.
- SSD firmware is also up-to-date.
- Updated my BIOS.
- Checked for loose SATA connectors.
