Some Intel 13th/14th gen desktop CPUs (unlocked CPUs, as well as locked i7/i9), may have stability issues due to excessive voltages, on out of date BIOS/microcode. This may show up as errors, crashes, and BSODs. In some occasions, this error may blame a different part (e.g. out of video memory) despite it being caused by a defective CPU.

Common things that may fail with a defective CPU include the following, and more:

  • Crashes during shader compilation
  • Crashes during decompression (game loading)
  • Crashes during driver installation/updates

Please go to this Intel Community thread for further information.

To prevent damage to your CPU and possibly restore stability, please perform a BIOS/firmware update for your motherboard (or system, if this is a name-brand pre-build system) to a version containing the 0x12B microcode or newer. You can check the support pages for your motherboard/system model for any BIOS updates you may need.

Below are a few common motherboard manufacturers:
ASRock
Asus
Gigabyte
MSI

If your CPU is currently exhibiting instability even after performing BIOS/firmware and microcode updates, please contact Intel or your system builder for a warranty exchange (RMA), as your CPU may be permanently damaged.

What BIOS version are you on?

See what happens when the PCIe link speed was dropped to 3.0

Running out of things to check...

  • If you still haven't tried this, remove half of your RAM sticks (so you have 2x16), drop the P-core, E-core, and cache/ring by 300MHz, reinstall the graphics drivers, and then retest.

mhwilds does have a crash bug in most 572.xx drivers

#

either go to 566.xx or the 576.15

#

but if the nature of the crash changed I suspect you may actually have two different crash causes and we fixed one of them

#

hmm

#

Can you check if changing graphical settings help?

#
  • If you were using DLSS overrides or swapped DLLs, disable them or revert to their original files
  • Disable frame generation
  • Disable super resolution (knowing the game, may be slow, but helps with troubleshooting)
  • Disable ray tracing
  • Drop texture settings from the max to one level below max (also if internet allows, uninstall the high res textures)

If all of the above doesn't help (which should help out VRAM management bugs (even though you have plenty) and DLSS bugs) then try checkin the game but everything set to lowest (keep resolution same)

at this point I'd probably contact NVIDIA customer support

ty for the update! I'm trying hard to not have to rma because I bought from ebay and am unsure if I even can.
