I'm having the following issue:
While playing Call of Duty Moden Warfare, my secondary HDD on which the game is installed disconnects and reconnects. I get a notification stating that a new device has been connected to the computer (my hdd).
The game crashes and battle.net won't locate the game by itself. It makes me locate the game manually.
The hdd I was using was a few years old so I decided to buy a brand new one but the problem persists.
Sometimes the notification that pops up are about the Reserved by the System unit
I've updated the BIOS to the 3003 version but my pc started to crash and to show BSOD so I had to go back to the 2605 version which apparently is the most stable one. Haven't had a single crash with this BIOS version
I have also tried this solution but it didn't work: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3083627/internal-sata-drives-show-up-as-removeable-media
I've checked the SATA cables and they aren't loose.
I also don't believe it is a problem with the PSU.
Right now I don't know what to do
The only way I've managed to play without these crashes was to transfer the game to the SSD which costed me a lot in terms of storage.
These are my specs:
