Demo kept crashing on above recommended specs PC

[Eris]

I’m running Ryzen 7 5700X, 32GB of RAM and RTX 3080 ti with latest Nvidia Driver. I cannot play the demo as it kept crashing and blue screen my PC after the initial cutscene. I have no crash on other highly demanding game and my PC is stable on day to day tasks.

Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi,

I had the same problem with a very similar computer (Ryzen 5950X / 64GB RAM / RTX3080).

In my case, I looked in the event viewer and found a CPU related error (WHEA 18). It turns out that many months ago I had configured in Ryzen Master an option called ‘Curve Optimizer Mode’ that does a kind of automatic undervolt. It never gave me any problems in these months, but I just deactivated it and everything started to work correctly (in fact I finished the demo just now).

I don't know if your case is the same but it worked for me.

Best Regards

I don't even SEE a cutscene. Just a tiny loadscreen and then Bluescreen after a few seconds.

same problem
Hardware:
Win11
Ryzen 7800X3D (no magnitude OC)
MSI B650 tomahawk Wifi
3080ti reference design

Every Game runs except FF16 Demo:
Bluescreen after play button or in the menue.

tried: new MB Bios, new AMD Chipsatz Driver, newest Nvidia Driver for FF16
nothing works.

Bluescreen with the Message
Critical Process Died

Update: directly after FF16 Demo, every Game is crashing with a bluescreen...
checked windows event viewer:
ID 161 volmgr -bluescreen -could be the PSU.
Checked MSI Center - thats the problem.
Every voltage was extremly low.

changed the be quiet 12M 1000W with an NZXT C1200 - everything works.
crazy....

problem solved
