Freezing long before completion on all wipes.

Trying to wipe 3 storage devices to re-sell a computer. Between 10-30 minutes the operation completely fails. Here's some things I've tried.

1. Updating BIOS to latest version.
2. Created bootable USB with Rufus using latest release .img release
3. Used Ventoy with .img, multiple iso's, and previous release.

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Have you tried using the nomodeset .iso or adding nomodeset to the kernel command line in both grub files? This disables the DRM graphics drivers and if it then works identifies the DRM driver for whatever graphics hardware you have as the cause of the hang.

Yes I have tried both of those things separately. I do have a bit of an UPDATE. I was trying to wipe 3 drives at once, and after running into this problem over and over I tried to give wiping them one at a time a try. One of them finally made it all the way through a DOD short wipe, another is getting close to the same right now, but on the last one it crashed at about 87% completion which is making me think it's something with this drive in particular.

That makes me wonder whether you have a CPU memory fault. I'm routinely running eight disc wipes with no freezing.

Or the laptop or drives are overheating?
