Error in Cache Hierarchy with Ryzen CPU?
Error in Cache Hierarchy with Ryzen CPU?
I've experienced some recent problems with my Ryzen 7 5800X that I recently bought. Used to having my PC crash frequently while running an all-AMD build, these issues are becoming more common. They seem to happen mainly when playing intense games like Destiny 2 and MW3 at near maximum settings. In-game crashes occur regardless of the situation. I don’t receive a minidump because it results in a black screen crash followed by a restart. Checking the event log revealed this error.
A fatal hardware fault has been detected.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 0
The details section provides more context. I’ve tested every time the PC crashes, and it consistently triggers this error. Before the issue, the CPU would idle at 79-80V under load, rising to 88-91V during stress. Now, with undervoltage set to 1.1 volts, it idles around 47-52V and reaches 79V under stress.
Specifications:
- Motherboard: Asus B450M-A 2
- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X
- GPU: Red Devil RX 5700 XT
- RAM: 16GB (2 x 8GB) Red RGB Corsair Vengeance
- Power Supply: Corsair RM750e
- Storage: 256GB SATA SSD and a 1TB SATA HDD, both with over 35GB free space.
Sorry, it seems a bit careless, but it might eventually assist you.

I've experienced this problem since building my PC in February. I've posted on various forums, subreddits, and Discord servers, but it keeps occurring. My monitor goes black, the sound stops or cuts out completely, or just skips, and then the system restarts. Sometimes I'm stuck with a...

Hello, I'm not sure if anyone still needs assistance with this, but I used to have the same issue too.
I tried various solutions: updated motherboard bios and GPU drivers, used stock BIOS settings, tested RAM, swapped RAM sticks one at a time, and even changed just one stick. Nothing resolved it.
Eventually, after reinstalling Windows, the problem disappeared, so I initially thought it was related to Windows, but later realized it was my GPU overclocking. After the Windows reinstall, I didn't enable overclocking for the GPU, which helped me identify the cause.
TLDR; for my case, the GPU overclock was too much in some games.
I hope this helps someone facing the same problem.
