Hello Pak,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities. We'll see what we can do to assist you with the games that are crashing on your system.

Please share us the following for us to better understand the current situation with the games.

1. What are the names of the affected games?
2. Is there an error message you're receiving?
3. Which distributor did you install the game/s from?
4. Aside from GPU driver updates, what are the tests and troubleshooting you have already taken? This is to ensure we do not provide redundant steps in isolating or fixing the issue.
5. May we ask where you read that the 14th-generation CPUs have issues with games? It may have been possible that the reference has troubleshooting that we may need to document.

May we request that you run the System Support Utility Tool so we can get a log file consisting of your system configuration as well as software versions? This will enable us to see through errors logged by the Operating System as well.

We will be waiting for your response. Thank you for your cooperation.

Im not Pak but I'll reply anyway

- What are the names of the affected games?

Rimworld, Helldivers, but I dont need to play a game to end up with a BSOD, browsing the web can be enough

- Is there an error message you're receiving?

All with varying error codes, often KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILUR, IRQL_NOT_GREATER_OR_EQUAL, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

- Which distributor did you install the game/s from?

Steam

- Aside from GPU driver updates, what are the tests and troubleshooting you have already taken? This is to ensure we do not provide redundant steps in isolating or fixing the issue.

Things I've done so far:

- Update drivers via windows and Gigabyte Control center

- No anti virus software installed, ever

- Run windows Memory Memory Diagnostic, no errors detected, swapped RAM, still crashing (XMP increasing the crash rate to just a few minutes of runtime before the cBSOD)

- Run Intel Processor Diagnostic tool, passed all tests

- Installed replacement mainboard, still crashing

- Reinstall of windows with set up of new device, no backup to restore used

- Cleared CMOS, unplugged device for 5 mins, restarted and still crashing

I found quite a few errors in my event viewer that pointed towards hyperthreads errors. Since disabling hyperthreading ion my BIOS I no longer had a crash with approx. up time of 12 h with gameplay. Is there a known problem with hyperthreading? I never overclocked my hardware over its specs set by that manufacturers. 

I would greatly appreciate assistance on this issue.

Best wishes
