Hi Blueberry,
Can absolutely confirm this was the root cause of my crashes.
Under constant load using Cinebench and Prime95 there was no crashing but when there was a sudden call on the CPU in game the voltage on the CPU was actually dipping below 1.2v on the vcore to around 1.17v.
After putting it back up to 1.3v(stock is 1.34v) in the bios haven't had any dip in voltage or a single crash in game since.
This is still not a problem with your system, the problem is their bad optimization. The game is using AVX instructions and they probably messed up something in that department.
I have the same issues and I "fixed" the problem the same way. Actually I didn't bump up my vcore, instead I lowered my overclock by 200mhz, the end effect is the same.
If a system s 100% stable in numerous stress tests and all other games (including BF5 which also uses AVX instructions) then it should also run Apex with ease. I really hope they fix this so people can revert their rock solid overclocks once again.
