[2.0.32] Factorio Crash - Random Crashes every few min

[Moj1t]

Hello!
It is my first time reporting a crash of factorio.
I have this irritating crash that keeps occurring, I can sometimes make it from one autosave to the next. I have had similar crashes in various other games in the past also.
I can't make heads or tails of the log, please help me understand what is going on!

This is a hardware problem, likely the raptor lake defect.

Yes, sounds like hardware problem.
Run memtest86+ for a few hours as a starting point. What hardware are you using?

[Moj1t]

Thanks for the replies.. I have run memtest86 from the UEFI for about 2 hours and it didn't find anything.
The same error seems to happen both with XMP enabled and disabled, that makes me doubtful that it's a RAM issue, but it's still of course possible.
relevent hardware is:
Intel i9-14900K
Corsair vengeance 2x32GB @6800
Asus ROG maximus encore z790
Nvidia 3080Ti

More I think about it, raptor lake seems more and more lightly to be the cause.

Now that you tested memory, test CPU next. Was/is your CPU susceptible to last years' permanent damage drama (I don't do Intel CPUs, so don't remember affected models from top of my head)?
You have newest BIOS on that ASUS board?
Test your CPU in Prime95, for few hours. Start Stress test with maximum heat option (no need to test RAM with Prime, as you have already tested it).

I have had it since jan24, so it probably was effected by it, as far as I remember, all 13th and 14th gen intel were effected.
I do have the latest firmware on the mobo (version from 6-12-2024)
I'll run prime95 once I'm home later, thanks for the suggestion.

Solved! It's a raptor lake defect. CPU has a fit every now and then. Fits exactly the description of the same problem anywhere I can read about it.

[pioruns]

Sorry to hear. On the other hand, good that you were able to pinpoint the problem. You should RMA the CPU, and be back with stable computer again once's done

[Moj1t]

Thanks! I should be able to RMA it, I'll make a new post if I find Factorio specific problems with a new one.
