ISSUE

when opening chrome it takes 3-4min and causes a bluescreen that sometimes corrupts SDD/OS.
this has happened 2 times and required once a full reinstall of windows to work again. 1 time it also happened during a a heavy ram load of photoshop and required a full reinstall of windows, that time it also made my SSD unreadable.

TESTS

ive run memtest86 and 0 errors after 4 tests.

ive run cinebench and prime95 0 issues and good performance.
no virus, newest drivers, newest bios(tried older too)

tried different sata cables and ports

SSD test with crystaldisk (95% good)

Possibly related issues

some driver issues with network but fixed by disabling some services (after all the crashed)

PC has shut down due to overheating 1-2 times when i OC'ed it too much. OC turned down and stable in prime95.

SOLUTION?

what issue can it be? what other tests can i run trough to figure it out? My guess i ram issues but memtest86 showed 0 issues. considering upgrading to 32g anyway will that possibly help?

HARDWARE

MOBO: asus 450bm-a

CPU: ryzen 5 2600

GPU: rx5700xt

SSD: kingston hyperx sh103s3 120g

RAM: 2 x 8gb crucial 2666mhz
PSU: coolermaster mpx-6501-amaab, 650w Bronze rating 4yo
 
SSD looses connection. Cause can be overheating, failed hardware.
File handles do not get properly closed.
File system gets corrupted.
Windows crashes, because it can't access SSD.

Replace faulty SSD.
Preferably avoid Kingston SSDs.
ive tested with two different SSD's a same problem other was ADATA, when i try to boot it i cant even get into bios with del or f2
 
Could be also loose sata cables. But you said, you replaced sata cables.

Could be VRM overheating.
Disable any and all overclocking.
Your board has no heatsinks on VRMs. It is not appropriate for any kind of overclocking.

Did you do any DRAM overclocking? Excessive DRAM voltages can damage CPU memory controller.

i'll disable all OC's and see if the issue persists, i'll try to trigger an blue screen with 0 OC

no Dram overclocking
i have run the overclock a bit too hard perhaps....

tried to open chrome and do other tasks simultaionasly without the OC, issue persisted, blue screen again
 
Try setting DRAM voltage to 1.35V.
Do not go above this value.
ive done it and opening chrome + other tasks doesnt bluescreen (yet) but still almost complety freezes it.
now i get "the group or resource is not in the correct state to perform requested operation" click ok and then chrome opens...

opening it with prime 95 simultaiosly doesnt crash yet either, perhaps it helped a bit but difficult to say, still super laggy and freezes.
 
The first SSD (Kingston) has only 120 GB of space??

Also, the ADATA is 260 GB?

How much free space you had on each drive after Windows (and whatever programs, if any) after installation?

first kingston is quite old with only 120g. now i have about 40g left as i havent installed anything other than chrome and diagnostics tools
adata was 260 with atleast 100-40g space left.

waiting for a m.2 1tb in the mail
+ 1tb old HDD
