Recently I've gotten BSOD while installing or updating games in steam. I have noticed that the preallocation takes much longer than usual if it will BSOD during the install.

Hi StringSaber,
While going over your logs, I noticed entries related to piracy.
I would like to ask you to get rid of everything piracy related on your system, I am not saying your operating system is pirated, only that you have software installed that is pirated.
Why is pirated software a problem?
- Piracy is against the policy of this forum, and against my own policy
- It is unknown what could've come with it, such programs often have a way of letting other software come into your system and who knows what they'll do.
- Since it is unknown what could've come with such programs it is unknown what the behavior of your system will be and any potential solutions may, as a result, backfire and make your system's stability worse.
Please remove everything piracy related on your system so we can start troubleshooting your system.
Please consider this as a warning, I may refrain from providing support if I see piracy related entries in new logs.
Hello axe0,
Thank you for the kind warning. I believe that I have now removed all pirated software on my computer (there was a crack of guitar pro 7). Please let me know if there are any other pirated software that I missed, and I will be happy to remove them. I now primarily use this computer for gaming and all games were legally obtained on steam.
Here are my new log files.

I bought it used. The system should be about 2 years old. (system two, not the thinkpad).
Note
Run the tests on all hard drives/partitions!
Please run HDTune first, in the order posted!
Run HDTune to
- check the health,
- scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
- run a benchmark.
It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following
- the health,
- the error scan,
- the benchmark incl. following
- transfer rate,
- access time,
- burst rate,

Run the long test.
Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.
Make a photo of the result and post it.
