Another random crash, this time after grabbing a bp from library. If necessary i can provide the bps.
I am starting to suspect my HW.

crash:

as a follow-up i run some RAM stability test and i verified that it is 100% working.
So i would exclude HW (at least RAM) related issues for now.

You may wish to give a short run of Prime95 and see if any of the worker threads fail. That's been an indicator for other users

Two crashes on the same machine, cannot be reproduced, nobody else reported and are in different parts of code that both have not been changed recently still seems more likely to be a hardware issue.

So i did a bunch of testing and i found some weird things. The memcheck from windows didn't report any errors, however when running prime95 some workers stopped immediately due to some errors.
So i disabled XMP and i ran prime95 again and it worked flawlessly.
then i re-enabled XMP and i ran prime95 yet again and it wroked flawlessly here as well (i did a sort of extensive test here of few hours).

This is extremely weird for me as when i built this machine some months ago i checked for stability with a 12h test with prime95+furmark that returned 0 errors.

I don't really understand what happened as i haven't touched my bios since... however i would say that it could have been indeed an hardware error that was resolved by turning off and on the xmp profile... extremely weird.

I wouldn't trust results from software that checks memory as application within windows. Use http://memtest.org/#downiso or https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm instead and let it run several complete loops, best overnight. If it does not find any issue then, you can be reasonably confident that it is not a memory issue.

I'm moving this to magic then.
