The drive WD_BLACK SN850X 2000GB has spent 6 minute(s) operating at or above its critical temperature threshold (typically 80–85°C). At these temperatures the controller is forced to throttle aggressively to avoid permanent damage, which causes severe performance loss and accelerates wear.
Improve airflow around the drive, add a heatsink if possible, and verify it is not installed near a heat source. Sustained critical thermal events shorten the drive's lifespan significantly.
The drive WD_BLACK SN850X 2000GB has spent 12 minute(s) operating above its warning temperature threshold (typically 70°C). The drive is still functional but is running hotter than its manufacturer recommends for sustained operation, which gradually shortens its lifespan.
Check airflow and cooling around the drive. Adding a heatsink or improving case ventilation usually resolves this.
1 running program(s) are known to consume resources in the background with little benefit (preinstalled trials, redundant cleaners, or permanent helper services).
These programs are often preinstalled by the PC manufacturer or bundled with other software, and keep running at every startup even when unused.
Uninstalling them, or disabling their automatic startup, frees memory and shortens the boot time. The Processes button in the Software section lists each detected program and why it is flagged.
