just an update I just replaced by graphics card (1070 to 7900 xtx) and that has resolved the issue. I no longer get this crash.

Okay it looks like we are onto something here I redid the Prime95 torture test with HWMonitor open and CPU temps went very high before the system powered down. Screen Shot 2023-01-27 at 10.12.36 am.png I have a NH-D15 chromax.black CPU cooler and in my humble opionion very good air-cooled case a Tor...

I will do some tests with hardware monitor on to measure temps but it normally crashes about 7 minutes in.

Can you confirm if you've disabled XMP as well? Is your system stable under Prime95 (i.e. doesn't freeze or give messages that the results are incorrect) I checked and XMP is disabled however when I tried Prime95 it crashes and goes straight to power off. I went into Event viewer and it appears to ...

Just though I would provide an update, So from my extensive trial and error I have now found that I can cause the same crash response in other games Victoria 3 and Outer Wilds. The common dominator seams to being on a voice call in Discord. I have followed the variety of the suggestions on the disco...

I can roll back the BIOS to back to an earlier non beta version. I can also try reseating the graphics card. Testing it in another system is going to be a little harder to do I only have one desktop computer. After doing all those updates and repairs it appears that its stable that is until I try an...

I haven been trying to generate a Memory.DMP and I have finally gotten to produce the fault in such a way that generated one however it corrupted at 30% mark. From what I can tell this can be caused by one of three things; 1.Third party cleanup application (e.g) CC cleaner) deleting the dump file, I...

Or a driver/kernel issue. Point is, factorio can't possibly lock up the entire system. I agree with Loewchen though, it does sound like a hardware issue. I build the computer about two months ago, the only part I reused was the GTX 1070 that I had from my previous build also it only an issue with f...

I don't have any other issues in any other games sadly just factorio, no other programs cause me this issue either. Please note that Factorio is a lot more memory intensive than most other games. As such, Factorio is more apt to expose and cause issues with any instability or hardware defects invol...

When it hangs itself I lose all input control but my music that is playing on Spotify continues to play. But taskmanager and such still work? Or is still the entire system unresponsive like you said in your OP? Whole system is unresponsive like I said in my original post. There is also a distinct c...

Neither log shows a crash. Try updating your graphics driver and disabling all mods. I updated my graphics drivers and disabled all the mods, the game then seamed to work, so I reloaded it with space exploration mods. Then it crashed again while on the menu, When it hangs itself I lose all input co...

okay I went into the BIOS and double checked I am not overclocking anything.

I don't have any other issues in any other games sadly just factorio, no other programs cause me this issue either. I am going to just double check overclocking but I am pretty sure I left everything on default, except for some fan curves.

As follow up last two times I have tried to restart the game, now crashes to the point of requiring restart at 47-50% mark.

Whenever I open up factorio it always seams to crash after a while in such a castrophic way I can't control+alt+del into task manager to kill the application or alt tab out. Instead I have to reset the computer. I think it might be a memory leak issue. but I can't make sense of anything in the logs ...
