Does not matter, if your CPU is already damaged, it can NOT be repaired by the BIOS update. Since your old BIOS was dated 2024, it might alreay be to late.I do realize that Intel current gen CPUs had an issue with their microcode, and while it mainly affected i9 chips, i7s' was also affected. The BIOS installed in august had the microcode update to correct this. I did find out there was one further release of the F7 BIOS that I did not have, but it was included in the F8 BIOS release that was installed in my diagnostic steps.
Check a CPU swap for testing.
The CPU has effectively been ruled out from no other issues in other programs, and from testing I have been doping with Intel.
And if the CPU had some damage, the update would prevent any more from the same source from happening. As I have said, if even 1 other program was experiencing issues or crashes, or even causing event viewer entries to occur I would engage Intel for a CPU swap. But the issue is only with FF14, and even people with AMD setups are having this issue (or the resulting error boxes and symptoms) so it appears more likely to be with the game than the hardware.
Ok, more updates, and still no reply or response from the mods or anything.
The game continues to crash every day, with this morning being the worst of the lot. In the span of my normal Saturday morning routine, which I had to cut short, over the course of 90-100 minutes, the game crashed 11 times. ELEVEN!
This was mainly a log in, run MSQ, cycle retainers, do custom deliveries, do allied quests, and my weekly gold saucer roundup. 11 crashes, no error screens, and of course, no errors in event viewer.
Apologies if you already mentioned, have you tried a complete OS re-image or tried running a memory test? *Update: I would try rolling back the Nvidia drivers to version 566.36. Been seeing many complaints about the 570x nvidia drivers causing crashes and blue screens across the RTX 4 and 5 series.
