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.
@MrDakk Thanks for the tip! Might try it although I did try before adding an avx offset of 1 at 4.9 GHZ 1.25V and it did not crash for at least a day. Thing is, my other games are fine (BF5, RS6, Witcher 3 etc) with my overclock (4.8 ang 4.9 GHZ) including my other benchmark tools. Here's waiting for Respawn Dev team to release a patch to rectify this or better yet, Intel patches it up via an OS update.
Removed overclock, still crashes @OrioStorm
What are you current BIOS settings? voltages, clock speed, etc.
EA Staff (Retired)@Lunchb0x88, unfortunately, it seems that this clock speed issue can happen even without overclocking and just using Intel SpeedStep.
@MrDakk That try was at stock auto clocks with stock auto voltage. But it also crashes at my very stable 5.0ghz overclock that crash on any game or prime 95.
5.0ghz 1.285v
Custom loop watercooled (heakiller block, 2x 360mm rads)
@OrioStorm Thats...disappointing. Why is it only this game and nothing else?
EA Staff (Retired)@Lunchb0x88, it appears to be related to an exact instruction sequence, rather than to overworking the CPU. In simple terms, the CPU is doing a step internally, and the next step thinks the first step is done, but it's not. So, the second step uses half-done results that cause crashes. Lowering the clock speed gives the CPU enough time to finish the first step before the second step uses its results.
@OrioStorm I understand what you are saying, but there are tons of people with the same processors running at the same stock speeds that arent crashing in this game. One of my main squad mates is running 8700k and never crashes.
Different processors have different stock VIDs even among the exact same processor (Just each individual sample is tested with similar VID cores put on the same package. A processor may have a VID low enough that it triggers the timing error in Apex, when speed step/turbo boost kicks in, because the voltage is not high enough to avoid this error.
hi guys, I've been experiencing a lot of game crashes since two days. What surprises me, a lot of users complain about crashes and they use an Intel Cpu, and I couldn't find any posts regarding AMD cpu's. Anyways I embedded the txt file if that helps.
