Touchdesigner crashes with Intel i9-14900K CPU

Hey!
I found that hardware-specific bug, when Touchdesigner crashes with i9-14900K / i9-13900K CPU’s.
It was the same issue on two separate machines already, but right after I’ve replaced CPU to i7-14700K crashes stopped and Touchdesigner run absolutely fine.

This is a widespread Intel CPU problem with 13th and 14th gen CPUs. We recommend following Intel’s advice and to upgrade your BIOS with the patches that were released recently to avoid damaging your new CPU as well. Old CPUs that are affected will need to be RMA’d (replaced) but after the BIOS update new CPUs should not suffer this problem again.

You can read about it here:

You can read Intel’s status on the issue here:

If you have a 13/14th gen Intel Desktop CPU acting up, can you try using the diagnostic tool provided by Intel to see if your CPU is affected (Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool)

BIOS updates will be handled by your motherboard’s manufacturer.
