[2.0.32] Crash to Desktop

[armoredbull]

Good afternoon,

I have had a consistent crash to desktop for the past few days. I am running on the latest version with no mods or adjustments to the default settings. Attached is an autosave file created prior to the most recent crash and a crash log and a dump (no idea what that is).

I am going to update all my firmware/drivers and ensure the hardware is functioning correctly. I will then see if I can reproduce the conditions that caused the crash. I noticed it occurred most often when opening a menu while viewing a spacecraft. However, it has occurred outside of these parameters so I am at a loss for what is causing it right now.

I checked my systems event log and there seems to be a file associated with the crashing that may be relevant.

Update

This issue is now resolved

The underlying problem was an access violation caused by a temperature throttling CPU. What I discovered was insufficient thermal paste was in contact with half of the CPU. I replaced the thermal paste with a new quality paste and ensured that it was spread evenly. I am now no longer having any problems and my computer runs very quiet.
