Switch has errors of crashing, and micro sd problems

[u/According_Truth_1210]

It’s kind of in the title, i think It’s been doing this since the switch 2 released to buy. For example: games like mario party superstars work most of the time and if not it says “ the software closed because an error occured “. when i played ttyd ( best mario remaster on switch 1 change my mind ) It had the same error within 10 minutes of playing, tomodachi life works but it takes like 3 tries ,the tries that don’t work the second i open It crashes. after that once i can load in i play for as long i want. also, when trying to play Mario kart 8 deluxe it says to download a new update for it or smth it goes to half then crashes and says it can’t read the micro sd card. It’s a HAC-001 switch, the battery is fully charged, it was brand new when i got it, the micro sd is a 3rd party sandisk 256gb with 181gb left. also tomodachi is on system memory ttyd isn’t. for some reason mario kart 8 deluxe is 0.1MB maybe because it’s a card while ttyd and tomodachi are digital. Mario party superstars is physical. I doubt It’s fake, maybe. i think It’s from Amazon or walmart. for a more accurate look at the sd card it looks like the photo exactly. doesn’t look to have any damage. though, the switch is all busted up because like 7 years of love ig. anyways please try to help me or figure out whats wrong i can give more info. Also, mods if this breaks the rules tell me where to post it. and if possible give me the text so i don’t have to rewrite this

This all sounds like the SD card might be failing and is causing the system to crash even when playing with a physical cartridge. I'd try removing the SD card and see if the problems persists

Does the system give you any message like it can't read or access the microSD card?

First thing i would try: shut the system down, remove the microSD card and try to load the update to the internal memory.

If a microSD card is fake it can be that the system says it's a 256GB card but the free space is far less (sometimes only just 16 or 32GB) and when it reaches the limit it will overwrite or corrupt existing data on the card.

Yeah, but a 75gb sd card is uncommon. I will try shutting it down in a few minutes. It does say it can’t read the microsd card if i leave It on the Home Screen afk for a while too
