I don't think your crash has anythign to do with what you see in the error log.

Rather, Depending on what bios you have (ie who your MB maker is), you very likely have the CPU/bios/AVX2 issue discussed here:




Hopefully those steps will help you as they have others. Good luck!

I have the i7-12700h processor so it is likely that. But how many E-cores does it have? 6 or 8? If it has 8 that would explain why the total circumventing solution proposed under didn't work, if it has 8 e-cores.
 
The issue is nothing to do with eCores; any issue Vic3 had with them is resolved, or thought to be at least.

Did you. read that post? Essentially it is about excessive power draw by those CPUs causing them to go unstable.

I wanted to permanently resolve the issue with the affinity circumvent if possible, and not just deter it for a period of time.
 
Affinity circumvention will not address the problem; again the eCore issue is long resolved.

The problem is a hardware fault in certain Intel CPUs when under heavy loads in certain circumstances. Only changing that power drawdown (as described in that post/thread) will help. But that will be permanent.
 
Okay so I have this bios version (attached), do you think the stuff to it applies?

If your bios provides the facility discussed in that thread, you should use it to help your problem. Otherwise you may need to just under-volt your CPU.

But please post in that thread for more specific help, from those who found the issue in the first place. Thanks.
