EA Staff (Retired)@FatSpacePanda, I don't know for sure, but I speculate that the spike is probably when the OS comes in and starts to handle the crash.
Okay thank you. I first thought that the two were related since it was so much data (maybe the cpu got other instructions at the same time apex had something that otherwise would be a micro stutter ??) I don´t know, im way out of my depth.
@OrioStorm Thanks for detailed summary!
It also may be worth noting that you have increase the CPU voltage (vCore) to avoid the following non-crash error:
Event ID 19
WHEA-Logger
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
Error Type: Internal parity error
Processor APIC ID: 0
For me, a stable vCore was 1.28v for the I9-9900K, with vDroop on my motherboard this gave me a 1.25v-1.26v consistent vCore while gaming. If it drops to 1.21v-1.23v, I get the CPU parity errors above while I play.
Hi @OrioStorm Thank you for the well-detailed and scientific explanation on your theories for the said crashes. Mine's a 9900k OCd to 4.8 @1.21V. I was wondering if mine's the same case as the most people here.
@TheCoachPotato You have the same “OC” crash according to your file:
R5Apex: 00000000002F2DCA EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT: 80000003
I have the same CPU, you’ll want to increase your VCore. Anything below 1.23v causes parity errors for me. I need 1.25-1.26v while playing at 4.8GHz.
I suggest increasing your VCore in the BIOS to 1.28v so you get at least 1.25v to your CPU with VDroop.
I’m haven’t crashed since lowering my CPU from 5GHz @ 1.35v to 4.8GHz @ 1.28v. Probably played at least 20 hours with zero issues.
Hope this helps you or anyone else reading this thread.
