What I have done:

nn

Neither measure helped so I conclude its hardware.

OCCT stress tests all work fine as does MEMtest 86+ which did 40 passes with no freese or crash. Strangely stress testing and memtesting never causes crash over the course of many hours.,

All items except video card are about 2-3 years old.

All the fans in my PC are running. and no temps exceed 60C on anything unless I stress test and then there are noe failures.

Any idea?

Answer 1

Updating your BIOS can sometimes fix cache hierarchy errors.

Try to Reset BIOS to default state.

If you are overclocking your CPU or cache memory, try reducing the overclock to see if it fixes the problem.

Check the power supply is stable or not.

If required change memory.

Answer 2

Thank you for the update, make sure report this issue using the Feedback Hub app and you may attach dump files there. Try check with your device's manufacturer support too.
