When viewed from distance, progress we had in last 100 years is just magical, and sometimes there are local pockets of old technology. My father told me story about how he learned electronics from an old book where they started with a &quot

Yes, but then the processor will fail at another task during the game and corrupt some other memory. The only solution for unstable processor is to make it stable or replace.

Yes, that or insufficient quality checks, meaning some units will fail, some will work. Apparently it was only a subset of each model failing.

It seems like it happens only on some select cpu specimens (apparently works after replacing cpu with another one of the same model), so probably a small binning failure?

TL;DR: some motherboards by default overclock too much on some intel processors, causing instability.
