Bug description: In just the last 5 days the sim crashes so often it’s hard to develop. And if it does not crash my PC crashes. Yesterday alone I think I got blue screen at least 15 times and sim crash around 30 in a 8 hour session.
And this includes turning off all trees, and grass and many of the settings including textures. Hope to see this get fixed as I have no issues with SDK 2020 using the similar project, same aircraft with the same amount of data.
Not that often but sometimes it will also freeze. Did today on the new beta version. I loaded the project then simply went to load the aircraft and never got to the aircraft selection.
The sim causes my CPU’s to max all at 100% when I click Build All for a project. That is when it happens the most. So that fits in your point of view but still caused from the SDK.
Sounds like you might got a ram or cpu issue. Try running a couple 30 second tests with Prime95. Or install OCCT and do some ram/memory controller tests.
Did some research as nobody else is complaining like me and I found out the i9-14900K has stability issues. And this was caused from the motherboard companies and Intel. I just spoke to NewEgg and Intel at the same time. And i am getting a replacement. And I just updated my bios as this also needs to be done. For now, I will be testing my i9-9900KF to see how well everything is. I will update this post over time.
Cinebench was failing to run sometimes with an error. Then it finally ran and some of the cores hit 95C and 100C. This is the issue above for sure. Linus talks about it on his YouTube channel.
Seems the crashing has stopped from the updated bios. Do you think my CPU got damaged during this period with the older bios? You can see some cores did hit the max 100C. A lot less high temps before the bios update. I have a choice to return this CPU for an exchange or keep it. Any advice to test if it got damaged? Seems fine as as I have been running 6 hours now and the sim never crashed one time.
Damaged? No.
Possible corrosion? Maybe. Early batches apparently had some corrosive issues.
If you didn’t change the BIOS setting that unlocked the voltage governor which reportedly “helped” the 14900K stability issue (primarily on Windows 11), then no it shouldn’t be damaged. But your chip could have degraded on its own though and I would opt for a replacement.
This topic for me was based on the SDK. Because most of my sim crashes only happened when using the SDK. The sim running without the SDK seemed to work fine. But this topic ended up being a motherboard + cpu known stability issue for Intel, which is not an SDK issue. So I thought everyone was having the issues I did as my PC has been stable for the last 15 years. It was this last November I upgraded the cpu. But the funny thing was the first month I did not see these crashes or BSOD. I was able to work on a small aircraft project. But once I started to work on an aircraft project that was 5 times larger then I was tricked that the SDK was broken. I had to get the program processor lasso to build the textures or the sim would crash right away as all my cores were 100% during this process. But then two weeks later when no more textures needed to be processed the sim started to crash way too often. So that is when I felt that the SDK was broken and started this topic. But over the last two days I am happy to say it was the i9-14900 intel + motherboard stability issue. Linus from YouTube explains this the best. @Tailh00k was also very helpful. Anyways normally i know when to report an issue here on this forum.
Feel free to close or update that this post was resolved.
