• Game won't stop crashing on PC, any help is appreciated.

  Try running a drive test on the drive. It's possible it's bad (yes, it can come bad even if it's brand new, actually new hardware tends to have a higher fail rate then midlife span hardware). You can use a tool like HDDScan. Source: 5 months ago

  As a first step I'd recommend that you run HDDScan against your HDD. Source: 11 months ago

• PS3 stuck at restoring

  The issue is that files became corrupted, resulting in it needing to check the file system.

  Started to be able to bring some order after I discovered hashdeep. Basically I started from a reasonably clean disk with folders to sort files, created lists of hashes using hashdeep, then used it to scan all my existing disks for unknown files.
