How to stop Great Wall GW3300 256GB from crashing in Crimson Desert?
Seeing a Blue Screen of Death right when the action starts is an absolute panic-inducer, especially with all those high-res textures. With only 256GB, the GW3300 had less than 15% free space after installation, which killed the SSD's write amplification efficiency. Random read latency was jumping like crazy between 20ms and 150ms. I tried lowering the texture quality in-game, but while the FPS went up, the crashes didn't stop—just a band-aid solution that didn't work. I ended up moving the system page file to a secondary drive and purged about 20GB of junk temporary cache. In Resource Monitor, disk active time dropped from a constant 100% down to 40%, and the startup crashes vanished during a three-hour marathon session. I hit a permissions snag while moving the page file that blocked the boot sequence until I granted admin rights. Temps are stable at 40-48℃. The drive is finally usable.
