Occasionally system hard crash with new cpu

Jeff_WuYo · 2021-10-07 18:55:27

I recently upgraded my cpu from i5-10400 (6 core) to i7-10700 (8 core), and I encountered occasional system hard crash, doesn't have any respond. It has been 4 days, 6 boots, 4 crashes since new cpu installed. It happened when I was watching youtube live stream, the timing is inconsistent. Another time happened when compiling code from aur. I have 650w power supply, no discrete gpu. My new system can pass CineBench23 (a cpu torture benchmark) on windows for 30 min, under 95 °C, drawing about 130 walt.
Here's my system journal and system info.
It captured some hardware error, can someone help to diagnosis? Sometimes, it hard crashed, and didn't even being captured.

Machine Check Exception (MCE) errors can be very tricky.

Since you changed hardware I'd start with verifying everything is seated correctly.
In case that doesn't help check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Machin … _exception and install rasdaemon .

Hopefully that will give more info about future crashes.

Yes, I double check every connection, they are all installed properly.
About rasdaemon, I haven't checked yet, I'll take times to test it.

While doing some searching, I found this thread, which has similar issue as mine. The author changed mobo and cpu, and the issue is resolved. I assume it's because the quality of the hardware in this case.

As you said, MCE error can be very tricky, and it does. The MCE error doesn't happened consistently, not on every boot. Here's an output of current boot, power on for over 12 hours. I kept it running youtube live stream for testing. Fairly light workload. Although it has an error, my system didn't crash, still function normally.

These following log entries here are those "machine check exception" = "MCE" that Lone_Wolf mentions:

You have many of those kind of entries in your log.

On Windows, you can find the same kind of log entries in the "Event Viewer" tool if you look in the "Administrative Events" section. Windows people call those entries "WHEA errors/warnings" from "Windows Hardware Error Architecture". Search for "WHEA" to find discussion about this in Windows PC forums.

This kind of MCE errors shouldn't happen by themselves unless you are overclocking. If you aren't overclocking, I'd double-check all cable connections and reinstall the CPU in its socket and the RAM in its slots and reset the BIOS to defaults. If that doesn't help, I'd guess something is wrong about the CPU or at least it doesn't seem to work with your other parts (board, RAM). I guess the thing to do then would be to return the CPU. If you are overclocking, you might be able to fix the issue by tweaking voltages. Maybe you can find discussion about what BIOS settings to tweak for WHEA warnings/errors in PC overclocking forums.
