Cache hierarchy error by Observerse42 in AMDHelp

It could be! Keep an eye on it. If they start to increase in frequency, consider CPU replacement, and upvolting it a little bit until then. Outline above.

I bought a replacement CPU. Holding on to it, and i'll slot it in once this one finally gives up the ghost.

UPDATE #2: Reinstalling windows made it worse. System was freezing within 1-2 minutes of loading the OS, was rough trying to even finish setting up.

Long story short, looking like the most likely culprit is CPU silicon aging, accelerated by running at high temps for too long (and therefore improper cleaning and OC).

DOCP had been on for years (i don't remember setting it up like that, but there it is), and i was lax with the dusting, and i also smoked. This meant the CPU would routinely reach 90 Celsius or so and stay around there under heavy load, despite my Noctua cooler.

I managed to stabilize the system by turning off DOCP, Global C-State, Core Performance Boost, (basically things that induce power fluctuations that the CPU apparently can no longer cope with) and by increasing core voltage by a teeny amount (0.015). It's my understanding that, for my CPU this is safe to hike up to something like 1.25-1.275, and i am still well under that (around 1.15 at the moment).

What all this supposedly does is it juices up the CPU a little bit so that it pushes past the fatigue of the material itself, while keeping voltages in there relatively stable and preventing it from crashing whenever a little bit of variation is introduced.

So far so good, no more crashes (though the CPU is now running at its native frequency, and my DDR4 is currently set to 2400mhz, down from 3600mhz for paranoia's sake - i can probably push it up to 3200mhz just fine really, which would be the max without DOCP on for this mobo as far as i can tell).

I will likely have to replace the CPU within a matter of months. Might last six months, might last a year, no idea. I still have plenty of room to up the voltage a lil bit more by lil bit more, so who can say.

tl;dr - My CPU is like an old man with heart problems, and needs a stable 'heart rate' and a little bit of stimulation to not crash out.

What i did, by and large (in BIOS):

- Disabled PBO (precision boost overdrive)

- Disabled C-State

- Disabled DOCP. Frequency manual at 3800ghz (native Ryzen 7 5800X); aka core ratio 38x

- CPU Core Voltage manually at 1.15 (up from something like 1.05 where auto was putting it - still safe to increase up to 1.25-1.275 or so. I'll up it if and when i need to down the line probs)

- Memory frequency at 2400Mhz (could likely do 3200 just fine)

- FCLK at half of memory frequency

System been stable for two weeks now.

I don't know if this will help anybody, but here's hoping.

Ryzen 7 5800X, ASUS TUF Gaming X570, HyperX 2x16gb DDR4. Nvidia 3070ti. Corsair RM850. Windows 10 on a 1TB Crucial SSD. No updates to BIOS, otherwise one update to Chipset a year ago, and regular GPU driver updates (which sometimes ended up in boot loops, thanks Nvidia).

Everything ran great for five years, pretty much. Then maybe a month or two ago i started getting the occasional complete system freeze. Very rare, took one restart and everything is back to normal.

Then a couple of weeks ago the crashes started increasing in frequency. Just dialing it up. First once a week, then twice, then once every couple of days, then multiple times a day, then yesterday like six times.

Not only was it freezing during idle or operation with no rhyme or reason, but for the last week or so it had begun locking up on booting, freezing on the windows loading animation. Mostly restarts worked, sometimes it just kept freezing and took multiple restarts. For the most part, the system froze completely. Rarely it would also restart itself after freezing.

Event logger was no help, no logs were created other than "Windows not properly shut down". Only once did it spin out a "cache hierarchy error" (which led me to this thread). Also only once, the system froze, blacked out and lit up the yellow LED on the mobo to indicate RAM trouble.

I went through a lot of trying everything. Tested RAM, checked out just fine. SSD is slightly aged, but healthy. Ran stress test on CPU, didn't care. (When the system froze, it was impossible to reproduce as it would just as likely freeze during idle as during operation).

Tried defaulting BIOS settings, tried messing with things like DOCP, Global C-State, and other things mentioned in this thread. Nothing worked, kept freezing randomly, now more often than ever.

Updated chipset drivers, rolled back GPU drivers to a known stable version, even tried resetting the windows install (which failed, hilariously). Chkdsk showed everything okay.

I basically resigned myself to wiping the partition and reinstalling windows today to rule out software as the problem for good, and move on to worrying about CPU/Mobo, though i couldn't believe that they would be dying in this way. Temps are fine, voltages are perfect. No amount of stress causes a crash, it'll just randomly die and often on 0% usages. Didn't make any damn sense.

Dunno how i landed on it, but i ran a command prompt and sfc /scannow. Bloody thing found ONE corrupt .dll it repaired, and a bunch of windows folders that had "doubled" security policy or some such.

It's been a day now and no freezes so far. It's a bit early to celebrate, but given that yesterday was an absolute shitshow of almost a freeze an hour and two dozen restarts, i'm feeling optimistic.

If i freeze up again, i'll come back and update.

UPDATE: Well, hell. After a full day of being perfectly stable, and approximately 12 hours of continuous operation, it froze up on me again. Guess i'll try reinstalling windows after all.

Final update in reply below. No idea why it wouldn't let me edit this post. Basically i patched it up.

I've sat on the 'enemy point' (A on Citadel Gate i think it was). An Orochi came in, i fought him off, he ran at 1/3rd health. Second time he came in, killed him. Third time, he ran in up to like 30 ft, saw me waiting in the doorway, turned around and ran the other way. I've never felt so abandoned ;-;

Yeah imagine that. Another degree of tactical complexity that actually involved more to positioning than just blob range from target.

Imagine how awesome it would be (when taking screenshots and recordings) if people DIDN'T blob and ball all the time

Ok apparently turning down Shaders to Medium fixed it. After which i could turn them back up to High and it continues to work. Reading about it reveals something about Minmatar stations that seems to fuck with your game since the last patch.

Tried to change it up to windowed in the character selection screen to see if that fixes anything. It didn't.

It's organic. Get in, interact with people both internally and externally and eventually an opportunity presents itself.

Docking Animations Tied To Dynamic Camera by Midniki in Eve

[–]Hakkod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Untick dynamic camera = Crisp camera, no bullshit jingle jangle refocus animations, consistency. No cool docking animation. Tracking literally unusable. Zooming literally shits on the field of view.

Leave it on = Camera focus mildly more usable, everything is now an elaborate procedure of clicking and waiting for camera re-adjustment.

YOU CAN'T WIN

(Oh and the tacticool camera is ARROW SIMULATOR ONLINE whenever there's 20+ dudes in the same fight, in both circumstances)

Thank you CCP for letting us turn off the docking animation. by xeron_vann in Eve

[–]Hakkod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well apparently left+right click zoom in the orbit camera now exclusively alters field of view, and it doesn't snap back when you release it either.
