title sums it up
Could be one of, but not limited to, a few different issues:
- Corrupt WoW installation
- Unstable over/underclock settings on the CPU and/or RAM(XMP usually)
- 13/14th gen Intel CPU damage caused by bad BIOS/microcode(it’s permanent damage that slowly gets worse and worse)
- Bad RAM or poorly seated RAM that needs to be reseated
- Cosmic particles like muons, though they usually result in a zero being turned into a one
You’ll need to post a DXDIAG report log for anyone to even attempt to help.
How much of a DXDIAG would I need to link its not exactly a small report.
I think you can paste it in a site like pastebin.com , then wrap the link here in code block to bypass the trust filter if needed.
Think that should be it.
You’re 10 bios versions behind on an unstable cpu platform and galaxyclient is creating a lot.
Start with bios and then see if there is an update for whatever galaxy client is.
Galaxy client is just a program to link different game accounts via GoG .com. It isn’t really an issue but its a rough problem.
updated the bios and I have to say doing it for the first time the dozen warning of “you can brick your motherboard are you sure?” are a bit daunting but it went well. Hopefully this resolves everything thank you for your help.
Yeah the 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs had some serious issues with a bug in the microcode that handled voltage regulation. Slowly, over time, they’d degrade the integrity of the circuit and lead into stability issues(due to things doing stuff like turning into a zero or a one when they shouldn’t have).
Even if you underclocked, the voltage regulation bug would still affect the CPU at random moments and eventually damage the CPU over time.
More info here from an official Intel statement:

You can Google around more for more information. You might be able to contact the Intel customer support and get a replacement CPU, but that depends on if you bought the CPU yourself vs it being part of an OEM/prebuilt system(you’ll have to contact the company).
For now, making sure you’re on the latest BIOS version with the updated microcode, will at least help prevent it from degrading further. Just make sure to follow the exact steps and settings rules. Some motherboard companies require you to use some specific preset profile for Intel to actually ensure the bug stops damaging the CPU further. In doing so, this can lead to drops in performance and/or higher temps if you previously ran an undervolted setup.
