For the past like days I’ve been smashing my head against a wall for HOURS on end because whenever I tried to build the UE5 project it would blue screen my PC.
After hours of digging I have found a solution that works for me.
I wanted to document it for others that might run into this into the future.
Basically, when you try to build the package on a intel i9 CPU range mentioned in the subject it will bluescreen your computer.
Why?
Apparently it has something to do with how your CPU gets used by VS during that build process. A process in a thread (i think it was) will hit its timeout and blue screen your PC.
Solution (for me):
Open your BIOS and disable ‘Intel Turbo Boost Technology’.
Please look online where you can find it in your BIOS as this varies per motherboard.
I have a Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX so for me it was:
Tweaker > Advanced CPU Settings > here i disabled the 2 options that has to do with ‘Intel Turbo Boost Technology’
I recommend turning it (back) on whenever you are not working with UE source/not experiencing build issues as this technology (apparently) does give you a performance boost it just happens to collide when interacting with building UE source in VS.
ALSO VERY IMPORTANT
Should your initial build have ANY failed, just right click the UE5 and click rebuild c:
Hello,
My CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i9-13900KF 3.00 GHz
I second this. I have had exactly same problem.
Unfortunately I was not able to find your thread before spending several days on same problem. I was able to analyze windows crash reports and narrow the issue down to CPU.
Compiling project with TurboBoost enabled heated my CPU up to 100 degrees, at this point protection kicked in and simply shut down processes that were deemed as threatening.
Easy way to spot this problem is having “Internal Compiler Error” randomly appear for some of your files. When you recompile project those errors are no more because you have less stuff to compile and it does not overheat CPU anymore.
Sometimes heat protection killed Windows instead of compiler process and this resulted into BSOD KERNEL_MODE_TRAP for me.
After turning off Intel Turbo Boost my CPU does not reach even 60 degrees.
Yep! Sorry you couldn’t find this thread earlier.
I spend days if not a week on this myself as well and I HAD to document this because I wanted to spare someone else the same trouble.
Crazy how this build in technology is so violent against the machine.
Replying to myself with the solution so It can be marked as the solution.
Maybe that helps people to find this easier.
