This appears to be a memory-related issue, but it could stem from other causes as well.

Hi @PDifolco, the test seems okay but it crashes when checking temperatures during games. @jaslion ran memtest on just 1GB RAM and everything passed with no issues. They also tried running a benchmark for FF14 and still got crashes. The event log showed a serious hardware error in the processor. Someone mentioned that Zen 3 struggles above 3200MHz in this BIOS, and an update to F15d might help. The previous BIOS was F4, which only worked with Zen 2. There are newer updates at F15a and F15d—should I upgrade to F15d to fix the problem? Or should I keep using 2400MHz RAM?
It might be related to the RAM, motherboard damage, BIOS issues, chipset drivers, or AMD hard disk drivers—don’t install those unless using generic ones. The PSU could also be the culprit. Overheating is another possibility. I’m not making this up; these are the most probable causes. First, run MemTest64 to check RAM (follow the instructions). Then examine the BIOS—likely the issue there. Next, inspect the motherboard. If the PC still doesn’t function properly, it could be a bigger problem. This process may require a lot of troubleshooting, possibly needing new RAM or other parts. The shop seems uninformed, as shown by their use of a faulty vacuum cleaner.
Hey everyone, back now. Apologies for the delayed responses. The issue is resolved—my CPU has been switched to a new Ryzen 5 5600X, which fixed the problem. They tried various fixes without changing the CPU but still faced crashes during FF14 Endwalker. After updating to the latest BIOS from GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO AC v15d, I’ve been playing for an hour and there are no more crashes. Thanks!
