Hi, I am running Stockfish 16.1 on AMD EPYC 7763 64-Core Processor, 2451 MHz in a Chessbase Fritz19 GUI on Windows 11. For some reason it keeps crashing and restarting the computer. I can run the Fritz19 Chessbase engine in the same Fritz19 GUI without issues. I have tried compiling Stockfish specially for the machine and also running the precompiled binaries. If you are running Stockfish on this CPU and or can go over the way I compile it, then please let me know!

#

thank you for reporting the issue, does the precompiled binaries also crash chessbase?

#

this issue seems somewhat related, although different GUI https://discord.com/channels/435943710472011776/1265756712615284736

Crashing and restarting the Computer ?

#

Which version specifically a dev version or the last release version

#

And which settings ? 1

#

it is a release version 16.1

#

one question: I am trying to attach a debugger to Stockfish while running it in the Fritz19 GUI

#

I successfully attached Windbg

#

however once I attach it, it seesm that Stockfish stopps in the FritzGUI

#

if Stockfish is crashing windows, is it a good idea to attach a debugger to it while it runs or are there other methods that are preferrable?

#

now it continues running, let's see what happens. If you have debugged or dealt with something similar before, please let me know.

#

it also seems that the Fritz19 is extremely sensitive to any other activitity, Stockfish compiled for the machine was running steadily, but then I took a screen shot of the nodes per second and that was enough to cause a crash. Has anybody experienced something similar?

#

are you overclocking or undervolting?

#

this is symptoms of unstable oc than anything else imo

#

no

#

just standard setting without overclocking

stoic junco Jul 29, 2024, 11:00 PM

#

what power supply are you using

#

have you tried stress test?

Did you continue the process?

#

yes, there was a crash, I had Stockfish attached to WinDbg and setting that a Windows dump file should be created.

#

I hardly believe this is Stockfish internal problem, it seems likely a hardware issue. (power supply, faulty CPU/RAM, etc.)

If you have the dump file I can analysis it.

#

Also check Event Viewer if there are any other HW related events.

I have checked Event Viewer, I accept your help analysing the dump file

#

stockfish can't crash windows

#

it's either a windows issue or a hardware issue

#

most likely overheating or unstable RAM

idle nimbus Jul 30, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

unstable CPU due to bad voltage would also do
