Game Crashing on one particular PC only

[garyvdh]

Hi Guys, I'm having a problem with my Main PC. All my other computers and laptops can play just fine. (All the same savegames and blueprint files)
It's an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Processor on an Asrock Taichi X570 Motherboard. 32 Gb RAM. Gamepro Geforce 3080RTX Graphics. The game is currently installed on a 2Tb NVME Drive (although I've tried it in various other configurations). I've also reformatted and re-installed Windows 11 Pro. Re-installed all the drivers multiple times, etc. Updated everything. I'm not experiencing any other system crashes or any other game crashes. It's just Factorio that crashes on start-up. It doesn't matter which savegame file I'm loading, they all crash. Usually immediately, but sometimes they can last for a minute and then crash (Usually after a save). Mods make no difference, it crashes with or without mods. It started doing this randomly about three to four weeks ago. I thought it just needed a graphics driver update, as that usually solves any problems, but in this case the problem never went away and I had to start playing on a different PC after I copied my user data over to a different PC.

I've attached the error message and my log files.
I haven't attached the save game files, because as I say it doesn't matter which one of the any hundreds of save game files I open, they all cause a crash (on this PC - but not on any other PC).

Do you have the RAM overclocked past the defaults? (for intel boards this is typically called XMP) It looks like maybe yes; your RAM is running at 3600 MHz. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X "officially" supports up to 3200 MHz memory.

I've seen many unstable RAM overclocks cause issues very similar to this.

Good Day, thank you for the reply.

No all computer settings are as normal. No overclocking on the CPU or RAM or GPU.
And as I say, no system crashes or BSOD's at any other time or with any other games.

I was looking at my log file and one thing I noticed was a comment about the size of my Blueprint storage.
Now my blueprint-storage.dat file is quite large at 418,138 Kb.
So I have cleared that and reset it to a blank file and am testing that at the moment.

Thanks for your assistance.
