Aurora R16, games keep crashing after a while

Right there with the other late 2023 buyers.  Any game I play crashes.  

Of note is an epic games post saying known CPU issue:  https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/fortnite-c5719335176219/technical-support-c5719372265755/frequent-crashes-in-fortnite-on-i9-13900k-kf-ks-or-i9-14900k-kf-ks-cpus-a22177656991003

But it doesn't have a fix for Alienware

@Vanadiel​ its not aion, because any game i play crashes. for example i played for 1 hour shadow of tomb raider and it crashed. looking at events manager - last record was 9 min ago and then game crashed.

after 2 min few messages popped up more

You want one with a red exclamation mark. Those 2 are just general information and would not be the direct cause of your crash

what are you filters for event viewer? settings should looks similar to this, I been having exact same issues but where I am at is that setting the system to quiet mode stops the crashing (because it is undervolting). I have exact same specs except i have 32 gigs of ram and a 4080.

@Ayiden​ i can choose same as you, only cannot choose By log option, its greyed out. I also check in windows log > system. If I look where you looked then crash is not recorded either :\ (none of these 2 options, where i look or you, is recorded)

@Ayiden​ 

well crashed again, but this time i can see something saved.

my last post is at 16:30 - now game crashed again. Something is wrong with pc and not games. I cannot find anywhere newest update in events viewer. 

playing l4d2 now and crash again :D

in 40min had another crash since last post, now switched on BDO - after 2-3min game crashed :) 

ok, 1 quick way of checking system stability: Prime95

Do a Torture Test

It should be able to keep going for hours without any issue.

@Vanadiel​ 

Thanks, installed and I didn't read 2nd link, as thought it was something different, so i went ahead with whatever was already chosen, but i think these were options as if i choose run test i get these selected

That should be good.

@Vanadiel​ that is a long test wow. Its been now around 25-26 hours, and my pc has been on for around 35 hours. I have 24 workers, and so far only worker 6 stopped working.

@mazhy​    Intel Extreme Tuning Utility stress test is 5 minutes and will give you more information.

I had to stop the test today, as I left again overnight. I didn't want to deep fry my pc. No change, 23 workers were still running the test.
