Question Launching games from M.2 ssd crashes system!

[nikolaosbasileiadhs938]

Good evening. I own a Lenovo Legion Y720. I have this ssd for some time now and it sometimes did this in the past but I did something and it fixed the problem somehow.

This time though the issue insists. I launch the steam platform and it is all fine and dandy but it starts downloading a game update but cannot use the disk. Downloads but no disk usage. After some time the laptop crashes with a DPC Watchdog Violation. I tried removing and putting the ssd back in but nothing. I tried to find any issues with software from Kingston and other independent programs but no issues on it's health. I can open picture files and I can search through the files in the ssd but I cannot launch a game. It crashes and sometimes shows pink/green distortion on the bottom half of the screen on the sad face blue screen crash.

I tried to update the BIOS and it said I had a newer version that what i was getting from the official Lenovo website.

I tried to find the power management settings in my BIOS to make some changes according to some advice I saw but there are none in my BIOS for some reason.

Computer runs smoothly other than that. Just crashes if I launch a game/try to install an update to an existing game and after it starts its no longer there. When i reboot it recognizes the m.2 but crashes yet again. Please help It's been 2 weeks ;-;

include the complete system specs for the Y720.

Downloads but no disk usage

this is impossible.
the game cannot be downloading to this specific disk if there is no disk usage whatsoever.

this means that the data is being downloaded to another location if this specific disk is not being utilized during the download process.
