https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218601 --- Comment #6 from Colin (colin.kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) --- Firstly, apologies for any incorrectness - the commit reference link did not accept inputs that were 'probably this sha' or similar - it was not meant in malice or laziness, but admittedly I was very tiered as a result of the unpredictability of this issue. I suspect this may actually be dead hardware but it's hard to tell. If somebody is interested in exploring this issue further feel free to provide instruction over the next few days, otherwise I'll buy a new motherboard / RMA the processor if the motherboard does not fix the issue. I value both my and all of your time, so buying new equipment in the hopes that I'm rid of the problem is my preference unless there's some burning desire for further exploration. Here are some facts: - `stress-ng --class cpu --seq 32` reliably crashes the machine in less than 60 seconds with the error message 'stress-ng: fail: [2701] af-alg: ctr(twofish): decrypted data different from original data (possible kernel bug)', as well as other algos (pcbc(fcrypt), cbc(sm4) etc) noting `dd if=/dev/zero` is not cryptographic. I routinely checksum files with sha and do not notice any inconsistencies. - I have tried vanilla kernels inc. 6.0.1 and 6.8, `dd` _seems_ to fail faster with more recent kernels, but maybe that's just due to a small test sample size. - I have been unable to crash Windows using Prime95 (24h) Furmark (24h) nor dd, nor am I aware of any errors from either tool. Windows install routinely BSOD, but went away as soon as I switched to a different USB stick both freshly flashed - it's possible this is related, but it could also be a bad USB. - The motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi D4 LGA 1700, the processor a 13900k, I have been experiencing the issue for about 12 months, seemingly it has become more frequent lately - I cannot visually see any problems with the motherboard, no bloated capacitors as far as I can tell. - I have replaced the RAM, PSU, SSDs (w/ an non-samsung model) and removed all aux cards, with the exception of onboard wifi6 which cannot be removed - Memtest86+ was run with my original 128G ram configuration on 2x24h occasions and did not yield any errors indicating cpu<>memory integrity is not the issue -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
