Hard crashing PC locks up

Disabling XMP/DOCP (setting it to Auto) in the BIOS has fixed it for me so far.

Crashes are gone. No need to mess with SMT or Process Lasso

Thanks. No crushes since yesterday. That has fixed the issue for me.

Rtx 3060 12gb
Ryzen 5 3600
32gb ram
Nvme ssd

I'm testing this now. So far, so good.

Please also send a bug report here:

3070 rtx+5900x ryzen
windows 10

Crashes hard on character screen loading.
Like pc goes and make a sound BRRRRR
then hard reset and reboots on its own.

Yesterday i could play a couple times, at launch i had no problems at all.

Btw i use the steam version of poe2

latest nvidia drivers too.

Can you please send your dxdiag? Or atleast the portion(s) that starts with "Problem signature:
P1: PathOfExileSteam.exe"

What are you trying to get at?

That all the people posting in this thread have faulty hardware?

Sorry for the late reply. My point is that the roots of the problem are MUCH deeper than it seems to the average player unfamiliar with the basic system architecture. Unfortunately.

The delay for the actual fix caused not because GGG wants to see suffering players and not letting them to play but the actual complexity of the issue affecting underlying systems like OS kernel, driver architecture, probably UEFI and who knows, it must be something else.

But this is not about "DAT GAYM OVALOADS MY CEEPEEYU". High CPU load is only contributing factor in the chain of events happening under the hoot. There is nothing wrong in 100% CPU load if you have properly working hardware and software.

As Pyroga#2822 told earlier, there is probability that we have more than one vulnerability and / or design flaw in the chain of consequences leading us to what we get.

And it is not only about PoE 2. Did you check the links I posted above? Did you know PoE 1 also had the same issue years ago?

Seriously theres something so wrong with poe2 and AMD X3D processors.

It affects other CPUs and shader compilation process. I bet that shit existed in the design for years and never was fixed.

nope... doesn't work... :(

The ONLY solution that works for me so far is using BES and limiting path of exile cpu usage by -1%, nothing else worked.

How many days have you gone without a freeze? Because using BES was the first thing I tried and it went okay for like 7h, then it freezed on a loading screen. Tried increasing the %, same result... some hours of it working, then freeze.

I only play around 1-2 hours per session, and haven't had any freezes so far with BES. I'm also using process lasso to auto disable core 0 and 1 just in case it freezes. So maybe you should try disabling core 1 and 2 in cojunction with BES.

I've been using this method since launch day, seen the solution on Steam discussions and it's been working for me so far.
