Hm okay I'm going to finish some more tests and I'll come back with results 

Okay well good luck. 🙂

Bit of a tech guy, converted to PC's when consoles did not entertain me enough, the last console being an Xbox, was fun with Halo multi-play though. But  the want to discover, to test, to learn more about computers drove me to levels I had never known...

 

Some GPU's I have had, 8800GTS 384MB, 7800GT, GEFORCE 4 MX440, 250GTS,  770 GTX, 1650 GTX, RTX 3050 Plus many other GPU's over the years...

 

The respect I have for LMG is massive like a black hole, sucking in all the knowledge, I watch their awesome video's, their knowledge is like that of a God. Seriously some say they are number 1 in the whole wide world. LMG is like the INTEL fabrication plant. Beaming with technology goodness...

I got partway through the test but I will retake it again since it never finished. Then to note the mobo is new and I bought the CPU and RAM second hand. Then just to confirm run the test with XMP off?

Definitely could be a RAM issue. Go ahead and run the test with XMP off as it should pass.

Great! well it can run fine without full speed running. I'd prefer a stable solid computer than a faster unstable one.

Yeah the only thing that is worrying is that it did crash in windows with XMP off

Yeah not good, If I were you I would get some different RAM. It seems the RAM cannot cope. With XMP off it works better what tells me the RAm is a problem.

RAM seems to be the issue possibly or something funky with Windows somehow. Too bad you can't just RMA the RAM but they would need the original owners receipt.

Not sure if you are still monitoring this thread, but having the dump files would be greatly appreciated. WHEA relies on the dedicated error record in the CPU and the CPU only monitors itself and PCIe devices. That paired with the Clock_Watchdog_Violation crash makes the CPU the main suspect as this second crash is usually seen with an unstable CPU overclock, but sometimes with a faulty CPU. As your CPU can't be overclocked (Unless you are using that feature in the BIOS that clocks all cores to the single core turbo speed, I think it's Multicore Enchancement? This feature can also cause the WHEA crashes) and disabling XMP didn't help, a faulty CPU is the main suspect.

 

If we had dump files we could read the error record from the CPU to see which device is blamed for the crash.

 

If you are wondering why XMP could affect this if WHEA doesn't monitor RAM, changing the speed of the RAM changes the speed of the memory controller which is integrated into the CPU. The highest non-OC speed with an 11400F is 3200MHz so anything at that speed or below should not cause this if the CPU is performing to specification. 

 

Of course, the CPU could be tripped up by something else that is faulty like the motherboard or (rarely) the PSU.

 

I'm not here very often as you can see from my post count so you can also contact me on reddit, u/Bjoolzern.
