Thanks for the quick response. Maybe some insight into your systems that are more stable would help us - I'd be ok spending $300 on a 2TB SSD but there is nothing to indicate that it will still not crash. My OS/Boot drives are all SSD but everything runs off of the mechanical drive. So maybe something like your mention of SSD could be changed...do you run Bigbox from C on these systems with games on another drive or is everything on one, including the OS? Would portable version be ok? A lens on what you recommend based on your testing would be great! I don't have access to that many systems, which is why I asked if I could just buy exactly what you have. But, now it seems based on what you are saying that even that would not help? Previously, you mentioned that you have over 12,000 games...are you able to run attract mode without crashing for, say, a week? Why stop testing at just 2-3 days if you have 4 systems to play with - could you test what we are doing to see if the same thing happens to you as well? At one point you mentioned that you can run for days without issue but now (above) you say that you would not expect anyone to be able to run attract mode for 2 weeks...is that right? I am trying to get a handle on whether *anyone* (including your test systems) can run untouched in attract mode in a casual environment such as a game room at home for, say, a couple weeks. If your own systems and testing are unable to achieve that (which is a longevity it seems I and others are expecting), then I won't bother chasing this any longer unless more troubleshooting logs would help. Can any of those test systems run indefinitely without crashing? If not than this thread dies right here it seems and the future is TBD.. Thanks again!

I am running into the same attract mode crashes and am glad to hear I'm not the only one. I am running an 8700k/16GB/980Ti/internal mechanical hard drive on a brand new Windows 10 install with all updates. These 4 systems you test with that are stable in attract mode - what exactly are they? I will literally buy the exact same hardware you are using if it prevents these crashes - cost is no object at this point. I would be thrilled to not have to run such extreme hardware for Bigbox. If any of your 4 systems are this powerful I would be surprised, but I could easily return this system back to PC gaming duty and replace it with your exact spec'd machine. I have a 3TB mechanical drive so maybe if you could please post one of your stable mechanical HDD setups that would be helpful. I want stability over all. This would be an outstanding tool to use to export every aspect of your hardware and software environment for duplication by others - power settings, software installed, patches, etc. .made by the devs of CCleaner - Piriform and best of all it's free! https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy After reading this thread, it's clearly been going on a long time for others as well and the troubleshooting steps have been really thorough! but at this point I would much rather buy exactly what you're using and not worry about it one bit. Hardware and software environment - whatever it takes we can duplicate your exactly as long as we know what it is. Thanks!
