    Game crashes while playing after I moved it to the D drive on my computer


    I am trying to run Sea of Thieves through steam, and I had the problem of the game crashing randomly while playing after moving the game to my secondary drive. I tried to find a solution, but I couldn't, so earlier today I completely factory reset my computer. After doing this I reinstalled steam onto the secondary drive and then reinstalled the game as well. It still crashes though, and I have no idea what else I can do to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Computer crash while playing some of the games.


    Game crashes while playing after I moved it to the D drive on my computer [​IMG]

    While I am playing some of the games, such as Roblox, Rainbow Six, Minecraft, my computer will crash after 3-5 mins when playing, when the computer crashed, with a crash report, it shows I have Driver_Power_State_Failure or DPC watchdog violation, I tried
    those situations to fix it, but none of them is working.

    The thing is happening like

    While I am playing, suddenly my screen come with a flash of black, after that the whole game crashed, I tried to turn on task manager and shut the game down, or even wait until it closes automatically, but after about 10 seconds, the whole computer crash
    with a crash report, and restart the computer, after restarting, the crashing is still going on.

    But for the strange thing is, I tried to run GTA V, after a long time, it's not crashing still, so, for now, I can only play other games when GTA V is running when I close GTA, it crashes again.

    (Sorry for Chinese words)

    D Drive is missing from my computer.

    I was playing a game, and then my computer crashed. I have these crashes in any game that I have on full screen, and whenever I get these crashes I have to restart my computer. Sometimes it gives me the option to CTRL+ALT+DEL out of the game and restart
    my computer from there. I have to restart my computer because my computer doesn't let me access task manager when I open it up because the full-screen game is frozen on my screen. But sometimes when it doesn't let me do that I have to hold down my Alienware
    startup key, and I know this hurts the computer. I have had to restart my computer using the Alienware startup key multiple times, and nothing bad seems to happen. But just yesterday I had to press down my Alienware startup key and I decided to get off after
    that. The next day once I got on I noticed that my recording files were missing and I didn't think much of it because I know I sometimes move them around. But once I tried to open a game launcher I knew something was wrong. I went straight into my file folder
    and noticed that my D Drive was missing. I have two main drives, my C drive and D drive. My C drive holds all of the system processing stuff and windows, while my D drive holds all my games and other things. My D drive also has a terabyte on it while my C
    drive only has around a 100 gigabytes. I then continued to look through my computer to confirm that everything on my D drive was removed, it was. Then I searched up on chrome how to fix a missing driver, my D drive is missing, How do you find a lost driver?, etc.
    And found a bunch of results that led me to nothing. My computer doesn't even recognize that there ever even was a D-Drive on my computer. It is like my computer uninstalled the drive. If anyone has any information that could help me I would really appreciate
    it. Otherwise, I can only use my computer to use things like Google and small games.

    Computer crashes while playing games

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that how frustrating it can be when the PC crashes while playing games. I certainly appreciate your efforts taken towards resolving the issue.



    For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC?
    2. What is the make and model of the PC?
    3. What happens when you try to run a game?
    4. Does the PC crashes only while playing games?
    5. Do you receive any stop code or error message when the PC crashes?


    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the article

    In addition, you can check if Windows is up to date. Refer the article
