PC: Crashing with AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT and 5950XT CPU's
Hello!
Many members of reddit are encountering the exact same crashes. After playing for a short amount of time the game begins stuttering very hard and results in a DirectX crash. It's usually one of two crashes. Here is an example of both:
Crash 1:
PROCESS_NAME: NeedForSpeedUnbound.exeERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0x887a0007 - The GPU no longer responds to any further commands. This is probably due to invalid commands being submitted by some other applications. EXCEPTION_CODE_STR: 887a0007
Crash 2:
ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 - The instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The operation %s could not be performed in memory.
EXCEPTION_CODE_STR: c0000005
Through reddit, it was found that the third party NFS Heat CPU Load Fix app/hack fixes the problem for the most part. Most users say this rectifies their issues wholly, but for myself I still get stuttering and crashes after an hour or so of play. Hoping to get this rectified! EA: Help pls.
Here is the reddit thread on the topic with a ton of other attempts and things that were tried to fix the errors:

Note that this seems to be only for the AMD 5900x and 5950x CPU's coupled with AMD video cards? Not sure here.
