BF4, the SSD Killer?
Twice now, I've installed new solid-state drives in my computer for the sake of having a faster gaming experience. And both times, while playing BF4, it has crashed my computer, forcing me to reset i...
Myself i am running Battlefield 4 also on my Solidstate drive.
There could be a few reason why your having issues with your solid state drives and it might not be down to Battlefield.
It could be how ever something to do with the Motherboard's SATA Controller drivers. You haven't mentioned what chipset or specs your current system is running but i will give you the best reply possible.
If your using Intel RST's latest drivers i would suggest you first try uninstalling this and letting the standard Microsoft Windows driver take over and re-run Battlefield 4 again to see if that helps if it does then install the Intel RST 12.9.4 drivers the current Intel RST 13.x.x drivers have been known to be buggy.
The SSD might not be faulty but due to the driver its acting as if it is. Have you also Checked the S.M.A.R.T Data of the SSD's to make sure that they are showing as failed or good.
Feel free to PM me if you need asistance by please try and enclose a dxdiag report which can be done by pressing the Windows Key + R and typing dxdaig. After this click the save all information and then sent me a link to it via PM.
Try drivers first before righting on the SSD.
The only time BF4 would be causing wear issues is when updating the game most of the time in Battlefield 4 its reading from the SSD and not writing.
