Started getting crashes constantly on all browsers, games and whatever.

Seems to be related to gen 14 Intel CPUs and Asus motherboards but my BIOS didn't have the settings I was told to change.

Anyone knows about this and has any pointers? They would be much appreciated.

Here's a pointer: 0x7ffe5367e044

I hope it'll help you :)

@retoor
If that address comes out faulty in the memtest, I'll ask you for lottery numbers 😂

I would check to see if Intel will replace it. Sounds like it is broken now.

@Demolishun

Yeah. Most definitely since I updated BIOS and enforced Intel settings things seem more stable but I still get occasional crashes (at least no blue screens), so yeah, likely the CPU had at least some damage.

Still, the retailer didn't object to my RMA, so all good. Annoying, cuz I won't have the PC for some days, but hey, could be worse.

@CoreFusionX it kinds blows me away that damage could occur. I guess exceeding electrical specs can do that.

This reminds me of when I used to get old motherboards to try and overclock them. I had this 486 DX 66 I tried to overclock to 100MHz. In the program I was using to test the board it originally showed 486 DX 66 as CPU id. After overclocking it showed some Pentium CPU id. That was weird. So I put it back to 66MHz and it STILL showed some Pentium CPU. Something about overclocking that CPU fucked the CPU id, and who knows what else.

@Demolishun

I have a 14900K. It's *meant* to be OC'd, yet still crashes on stock settings.

As you linked, seems to be related to mobo manufacturers setting retarded limits for power and current.

That would explain a lot. I mean, initially, I had some trouble while games compiled shaders, which is a fairly intensive workload.

But since you only do that once, no more trouble.

Then, YouTube started to crash.

"Turn off hardware acceleration"

I did. 5 minutes later, crash. It's not the GPU.

I grudgingly sat through memtest scanning 128 GB of RAM.

Everything passed.

It's the CPU because games tend to be mostly single threaded and don't como even nearly to top power consumption.

But heavy multi threading workloads like browsers seem to tripb it hard.

@CoreFusionX ough, that sounds bad. But don't worry, here's another pointer: 0x7ffee5bff618
