Type X2 Multi Freezing at game startup

[buffi]

Hi! I have a Niko multi'd Type X2 that used to boot games fine. Haven't used it for a long time though, and whenever I try to boot games now, the machine freezes completely a few seconds after gamestart, and then just stays stuck displaying the same frame forever.

Any idea on where to start troubleshooting this?

is it always the exact same frame? could be a hdd failure? is it a spinning disk or an ssd?

It's always at the same spot afaik, but it happens in different games.

Game loads for a few seconds, then freezes. Same spot each time.

Could be the drive (it's an SSD by Kingston)

I'd try replacing the following in this order.

1.) SSD/HDD
2.) RAM
3.) GPU

Someone in the main thread also mentioned issues with Kingston drives:

Tried swapping the SSD and that didnt help. Both were kingston though so ill try swapping in a 250gb hdd i have around.
Have ordered some cheap ram ill try swapping next i guess
