kyber Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 One solution is try upgrading the bios and change the temperature threshold in the bios setting for memory. This is from my practical experience on NUC8i3BEH HTH Karlston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Does its BIOS have a PC Health page showing temps, voltages, etc? Might be worth monitoring that for a while and compare temps with room temp. That it ran (and passed) a memtest is encouraging. Google searches for “nuc processor thermal trip” and “windows machine check exception” may give some ideas. kyber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atgpud2003 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Try upgrade the Intel Bios flash for the NUC motherboard.. Might correct the problems.. See guide manual online of your NUC model.. Check your bios what version and compare online there new bios update.. ATPUD2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
