Why does my Ryzen 7 9700X randomly reboot in The Division?
During heavy combat with lots of explosions, my PC would just reboot without any warning—absolutely infuriating for a new architecture. The Ryzen 7 9700X was swinging between 1.1V and 1.3V under PBO, and those spikes were triggering the internal CPU protection. I tried disabling virtualization in Windows, but that didn't stop the crashes and just broke some of my other apps—a complete waste of time. I eventually went into the BIOS, set the Curve Optimizer to -20, and added a +0.02V offset to the core voltage. I ran Prime95 for 6 hours straight and didn't see a single error; the reboots are finally gone. I actually tried -30 at first, but the system wouldn't even POST, so -20 is the sweet spot for my chip. Temps are steady at 72-80℃ with fans at 2200 RPM. I exported the profile so I don't have to do this again. It's finally rock solid.
