Hard Disk Failure

Is it me or someone already encounter HDD failure/damage? after playing the game for almost 3 mos now, I noticed that my 3rd replaced HDD, the game is somewhat pushing my HDD’s to the limit causing all of my previous and the currrent to fail.

My PC specs: POTATO BUILD (Please don’t judge)
CPU: AMD A87650k
RAM: 8GB
GPU: GTX 1050 2GB
SSD : 128GB
HDD 1: damage
HDD2: damage
HDD3: Seek error/failure

Do you have everything on minimum?

minimum settings? Yes minimum settings and still average between 40-60fps during game.

Dang, I only average 30fps. The laptop just isn’t the way it seems.

You are on laptop? Mine got 60-80 with a catch of freezing sometimes but it definitely better than crashing (altho sometimes that freeze turn to crash)

i would reccomend you to switch out the hdd to a ssd for games :slight_smile:

The ye oldie hdd struggle a bit with newer games in the long run since there are so much data being used and the disc inside a hdd spins at top speed, to keep up with the usuage and might end up damaging it in the long run.
While a ssd have no moving parts so it dont get same “wear and tear”

How?

Idk tbh I just set it to no limit (I’m pretty sure that what it call in setting I will check later)

  1. games dont cause HDD to fail
  2. if you have damage on all 3 of your HDD, you probably have bad power supply or other hardware related problem (or you are unluckiest guy with hdd)
  3. buy bigger SSD for games. you can get 256GB for ~20$ and 500GB for ~30$.

Yup I suspected all of these. I will upgrade my rig eventually

Or throw that PC away, I guess. I did so my last one, someone came and gobbled that thing away. Because the last time I went outside, it was gone. Got a muuuch better machine now, of course.

Its my gaming PC for about 13 now I think. Pretty dusty. Just got my interest in games because of Enlisted.

Jesus Christ dude I’m amazed you’re even able to game with only 2gb of VRAM… AND combined with a A87650k! Ditto to what’s already been said, game isn’t the reason your PC is having issues, it’s just a symptom, not a cause. Idk what your comfort level is, but I’d recommend either building a new PC or buying a good prebuilt. Entry level hardware is very cheap now for the performance!

It appears that my problem is the Power Supply Unit. Well my comfort tells me that 40-60fps is still playable. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I swap my extra PSU and that fixed the problem, by the way I do believe in Jesus Christ son of the Father, creator of all.

John 10:30
30: I and the Father are one.”

Well you can pray for a new pc then, let’s see when you receive it :laughing:
