Mystery application crashes

[LordDragonAlThor]

I have a head-scratcher here. Multiple games (Dual Universe, Baldur's Gate III, WH40k Darktide), Discord, occasionally other applications will simply crash. Most of the time, event viewer shows nothing. I have multiple other machines that are less powerful and run all these fine, as well.

 

Specs:

OS:                Win 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621)
Processor:        i9-13900K @ Default settings
Memory:            G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 32GBx2 (XMP I enabled @ 6000)
Motherboard:    ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI (BIOS ver.1202)
PSU:            Corsair AX1200i (1200 Watt, 80 PLUS PLATINUM)
GPU1:            Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition (Driver version 536.99)
GPU2:            EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING
Drive:            Crucial 2TB - CT2000P3SSD8

 

Troubleshooting tried:

- I've tried to rule out software/os/configuration by disabling all other applications, running windows services only, and both refreshing and reinstalling a clean version of windows, multiple times. I did have a 980 Pro that ended up crapping out and the current install is on the Crucial drive. Problem remains.
- CrystalDisk said drives were good.
- Memtest86 on RAM, multiple passes on default settings, multiple passes on parallel setting with extra tests enabled, 0 errors
- Removing all extra peripherals
- Full GPU driver uninstall/reinstall
- Using only 1 GPU
- Swapping to different GPU (EVGA GeForce 3080 FTW Ultra)
- Default BIOS settings

- Temperatures all seem fine.

 

I've likely forgotten some of the steps I've taken at this point. I haven't swapped motherboard (don't have another), though it doesn't feel like any of the mobo issues I've ran into in the past. Same for power supply, and their app reported no issues.

 

I'm usually good at solving problems but this one has me at my wit's end.

 

I humbly ask for assistance. Thank you.

No responses but I did eventually find this post which is almost identical to the issues I'm having. Weird crashes, always that kernel event tracing. 

Processor is still within warranty, so I'm going to see if I can get it replaced with warranty.

Have you checked GPU and CPU temps?

Ha! That's funny! I read your post originally and the troubleshooting you did was so good (and your associated write-up). I wasn't sure I could offer much advice.

 

Hope it turns out well!

Yes, all have been fine.

Appreciate the sentiment. I'm a software developer by trade and I've built computers as a hobby, so troubleshooting is second nature to me. I'm not prideful enough to think I couldn't have possibly missed anything, though, so I'd hoped someone had a bit of insight that I might have missed.

I've got a request in to Intel now and just waiting on an initial response if they want me to do more troubleshooting.  It would explain the occasional blue screens of death I get as well.

Figured I'd do the good thing and update. It was basically due to the issues with 13th and 14th gen processors that eventually made news. I'd narrowed it down to the processor, Intel replaced it, same and worse issues on that one. They gave me a warranty refund, I tried the 14900k, still same issues. Eventually got my warranty refund for that one and opted to switch to AMD's 7950X3D.
