Apex Legends crash

For me, this ended up being a CPU stability issue. I could run Aida64 fine, OCCT fine, Prime95 fine (with and without AVX), RealBench fine, and then I tried LinX and IntelBurnTest, those failed very quickly. I ended up increasing my CPU voltage slightly and was able to play for the rest of the night without issues. I let IntelBurnTest run overnight and continue while I'm at work today, its survived about 8hrs at this point.

I run an 8700K@5ghz 1.36v, I pushed that up to 1.37v with an AVX offset of 2.

I'm sure this isn't relevant to most in here but figured I'd share what worked for me.

I wonder how many of these people having this issues are overclocking. Would be good to know.

I was constantly crashing with the DXGI errors. I crashed 6 games in a row before I downgraded to 417 drivers. That stopped the DXGI errors but then the game crashed with no error at all. I checked the event viewer, and it was showing an application error related to "bad_module_info".

I then took the "throw everything at it" approach: I reduced all in game graphics settings by half. I dropped my video card OC entirely. I loaded into bios, reduced my overclock from 4.9 to 4.8ghz. Reduced XMP from 3200 to 3000. I was able to finish 4 games in a row without a crash. So it is looking hopeful but maybe I've just been lucky. I need to do more testing and start adjusting the options I changed to see what triggers a crash.

Perhaps these issues are caused by people running "stable" overclocks that aren't truly stable.

My system:

9700k @ 4.8ghz 1.27v 0 AVX offset

Gigabyte RTX 2080 Gaming OC
