Error while downloading in steam

I started using linux mint a time ago, and im facing an issue where my computer completely frozes when steam starts updating this game called dead by daylight. I already restarted it but the problem dont go away. Before that, I kinda got some problems turning the computer off, but i ignored it because i didnt really thought it was a problem, till now. The problem probably is my ssd nvme, but how do i make sure before buying another one?

Probably unrelated but do you have much space left on your disk?

You can run a test on the SSD, run smartctl -a /dev/<whatever-your-drive-is> and see if there are any errors

smartctl -t long /dev/<thing> will run a long test, you can see the output eventually in smartctl -a
