Hi guys so I’ve been playing RPGMAKER MZ/MV games up until recently my SSD died and wanted to know if there was a relation here or was time just up. This is a 6 month old decent i7 gaming PC and I was using a Gen 5 M.2 SSD. These run hot but throttle accordingly so shouldn’t be issue. On W11 and 0 Crashes before all this.

I would continously use this Speedhack plugin here. In order to speed up boring parts of the game. There wasn’t a specific speed I used just literally anything from 1-9x switching back and forth constantly and typically would simultaneously hold the RPGMaker builtin CTRL to speed up dialogue that most games have.
At most the games would just crash/freeze/glitch and I just boot it up again normally or even just F5 to restart. Nothing more ever happened and I did this on like 20+ MZ/MV games. Maybe like total 0-5 crashes per game.
So I was playing this one game with the speedhack. Not sure if related to the speedhack but I get to this one part and it shows the following:
I have seen these types of errors before in other games and I usually find a fix easily or it lets me just skip. This instance however made my PC crash to the black ver of BSOD with the sad face. I boot up again, thinking just unlucky, I get back in, crashes again at the same spot. However, it boots to BIOS this time and drive is missing. I power cycle, it comes back. I find out what the RPGMaker error was missing as someone had it aswell and fixed it by renaming. Just incase I redownload the whole game without the speedhack patch applied. I get to the same spot and it’s fixed and a bit later I reapply the speedhack patch again and proceed to finish the rest of the game.
Like 1-2 weeks later I play this one other game, and it crashes while I’m speedhacking through dialogue while holding CTRL to speed up dialogue simultaneously like usual. It crashes again to black BSOD again with the sad face. I had to power cycle this one as well. I forgot to save my progress and didnt want to play again so stopped playing. Hours later within the same day , while I’m loading browser tabs it starts not responding and crashes same way, same screen, power cycle fixes it, I get back in. Like 10 minutes later I load browser tabs again, it slows to a halt where mouse gets laggier and laggier until everything not responding then it crashes this time with no warning just restarts to BIOS. Drive is gone forever no matter what I do tested on two different PC’s.
So I would like to know whether the consistent use of this speedhack patch did anything like slow damage?
Was it mainly the higher speed multipliers like x3-8?
Was it the way this speedhack patched things and a better speedhack would’ve saved me?
Was it the one RPGMaker error crash which created something messy in my SSD?
Was it just a unlucky drive?
I would like to think that only the game itself would get corrupted through the speedhack not the PC right? But let me what you think or if you need more info.
Thanks!
