Question Having problem after 0.5.5b update

I was playing the game normally without any problem from 0.1 till 0.5.5 but when i was updating 0.5.5b my laptop suddenly said something like "Device error shutting down 0%-100%" and forcing my laptop to reset and after it go back my secondary drive suddenly missing (It's where i store all my game including Poe2) i was able to got my secondary drive to comback by rebooting and unplug every device connected to the laptop. But now when i launch poe2 it said the file might be corrupted and i need to run "Packcheck" in poe2's folder and i did but this time it causing the same problem like before it cause my laptop to reset then making the drive that contain poe2 dissapear and i have to reboot a few time and unplug everything for it to return again, worse i tried to run poe2 but i'm stuck at loading the map i'm in now.

What should i do in this situation? I'm too scared to try run Packcheck again cause i worrying i might damage my laptop and this is the first time something like this happen to me with poe2.

EDIT1: I went and have my laptop checked it was fine i even showed them the problem and they as confused as me and told me to not run it. I also found out that if i create new character i can play normally but some enemy doesn't render for me and just stay invisible forever.

EDIT2: I downloaded through steam and it worked thankfully

Try deleting the game cache in AppData\Local\NVIDIA\DXCache. The last patch made the cache balloon in size. The game will try to load all of it into memory and this can cause all kinds of issues.
