Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

After doing some digging, Asus motherboards, especially the 800 family, apparently they have some issues with the Ryzen 9 cpus. April, they evidently released a BIOS update. Now for a while, I thought it was only for the X3D models and not just the normal 9xxx line up. Nope, its the whole Ryzen 9 ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

I don't do any overclocking. No I have not removed two RAM sticks yet, because I don't know if that will cause issue or not with the rest of the system. The only stuff that would be running in the background would be my SteelSeries macro keyboard that does random video clips while in game (will do ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Game crashed multiple times. The only thing I haven't tried yet, was clearing game cache. I set up a second monitor to see if anything would pop up on Event Log viewer, you have to manually refresh it, so when the game would crash, it would lock up everything. CPU temps do like to spike up to about ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11


For CPU and GPU temps monitoring with power consumption, you need a separate tool. I don't use Windows so can't reliably recommend any favourite.
Very nice result with your 3.5h session.
So what have you changed until now?


Nothing. That's the weird part. Other than turning off the debug tools ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Just completed a 3.5 hour session with my brother, zero issues. But will keep this posted for any issues that crop up in the future.

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Been playing multi-player for almost 2 hours now. So far no issues. I turned off the debugging tools that showed "x" time until auto save and my FPS counter within the game. Keep in mind, the debugging screen does say, may cause game issues and performance issues, in bold red text.

So thats a ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11


Oh, indeed, sorry for missing that in your first post.
850W PSU is a borderline minimum for your Sapphire RX 9070 XT, according to specs.
Make sure to do full load test with Furmark and prime95 running simultaneously.

Also, next time you're running Factorio, monitor CPU and GPU temps and wattage ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11


Good to hear all tests returned as a pass.
But still, you mentioned hard hangs and/or reboots while gaming, so that's not good. Could be a GPU still, despite Furmark passing. Or GPU driver - that's a software side, Windows 11 or Radeon driver, or both.
Things to try:
1. Reset all GPU driver ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Ran Prime95 test for a couple hours. Zero issues with RAM or CPU. Not sure if running it for half a day would prove anything one way or another. So at this point, not looking like a hardware issue. Might be the latest Windows 11 update, but unsure about that.

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Ran the FurMark GPU test for about 45 minutes, no issues with that. Doing the Prime95 CPU RAM test now.

Still running with 4 sticks of RAM just to be sure that its not a full on stability issue.

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

At least at the moment, the Windows test completed with no errors found with the RAM. Doing a CPU web browser based stress test at the moment. Nearly 15 minutes in and CPU is running at around 172⁰F.

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Running the memtest in the Windows Run, mdsched.exe. The stress tests you all shared, need to get flash drives accord to their own instructions, so those will have to wait until I get new drives to do it.

Do any of the web browser based tests do much or are those more limited in their scope vs ...

Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

I did run a stress test back in Feburary after I built it. Can't remember which one I did. At the moment using my TV as a monitor. My desk is a bit too small to have my tower under it or even on top, so need to get a new desk fo accommodate it. But I will run those tests to see what it does. With my ...

Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Several months ago, I built a new gaming PC (worst possible timing ever). To give a run down to maybe help pinpoint the issues I am having:

Asus ROG Strix X870E-H Motherboard
Asus Loki Platinum 850w PSU
Sapphire RX9070XT 16GB GPU
AMD Ryzen 9 9900x 12 core CPU (I do not overclock)
4x16GB (64GB total ...
