I have a problem with Threadripper 2970WX and Windows10 - I have no issues when the processor is running at high load - it will run for 24-48 hours calculating a large GIS model with no problem. When the PC has very little load, almost every day I get a soft crash in Windows 10 whereby the GUI stops responding slowly and eventually the whole PC locks up and requires a hard reboot. Windows Event Log shows "Event ID 56 ...ACPI 15" for every crash. I have tried everything that I can think of - latest BIOS, clean reinstall of W10, check memory is supported, check cooler etc. I would suspect that it's not a power issue if the PC can run for 24+ plus hours at full load with no issue. There seem to be a lot of similar reports all over the internet, but no agreed resolution. Can anyone help with this?
