[2.0.76] Crash on autosave

[gipperp]

I think this is my first ever Factorio crash. Possibly a hardware issue but thought it might be worth posting anyway.

Vanilla game, no mods, no Space Age (yet). Seemed to just crash midway through an autosave, leaving

I could provide the crash dump too if required, but not sure if that has any sensitive information within it - and it wasn't explicitly requested in "How to report a bug".
Thanks!

That is a bit flip, so either random or more likely a hardware issue. See 114778 if this happens again.

Since crash happened during I/O write, I suggest to check Windows Journal, System tab, for I/O errors. Filter for errors, and scroll until you find exact timeframe when crash happened.
Also, analyse SMART attributes for your drive, and do SMART Long Test.
