Can you take a picture of this cover? Where are you getting the temps from? The temp you stated is what I would expect for the motherboard area but they are low for an ssd m2 under stress.
Random crash/reset

- Start date
I'll do some tests this afternoon but when I tried copying from C: to D: it seemed OK but need to re-check
Will do. The temps I got from a utility called Hardware Monitor which is presently showing the drive temp at 29 Deg C after being on for 5 minutes.
Having done more tests:
Copy C: to D: OK
Copy D: to C: Crash
Copy C: C: Crash

Is C or D got a sata connection u can swap i.e the cable if its normal ssd, or a diff m2 socket if its a m2.
The c: and d: are both M.2 directly into the motherboard.

Did u see if power plan set to highest do anything?
Did you try /sfc repair stuff?
Tho im thinking its more hardware issue myself like maybe a controller has knackard or something.

Yeah I tried the power plan and repair, no difference It's strange how the Seagate software says the drive is fine though.
I'm pretty convinced it's a hardware issue, I've been using the PC for an hour now including a game and it's been OK but write something to the drive and it crashes.
I have read that an SSD can become read only when it is starting to fail, not sure if that is true but..
So I think I'll order a new M.2, I have an enclosure so I'm hoping to make a clone of the c: to save reinstalling everything seeing that reading from it is OK.
Any recommendations for software to make a clone of the drive?

Windows i think is good enough for cloning. Tho i think i used some other tool after gooling best free clone software 202x.
Btw, do u have a usb stick handy that can hold a windows install. Just wondering if booting from that to temp see if transfers is any better if that was used then see how file transfers are moving stuff from usb to other ssd drives.

Thanks, found a few options for doing the cloning next week.
I have a USB stick with windows, I'll give it a go.

Sorry guys I forgot to update this thread, I replaced the drive and it worked.
I looked at various free cloning software but in the end went for a paid version: EaseUS Disk Copy which was great. It was simple to use, no confusing options etc. It costs £24 for a year (cancel anytime) but if you go to the site and leave or use the trial they give you various offers so you'd get it a minimum 10% less.
