Constantly getting crash errors like "Assertion failed: DDC key constructed from deserialized shadermap does not match request key!"

Hi,

Yes the I solved this issue (somewhat) it is a problem with the new i9 and i7 intel 14th gen CPUs.

Solution: Update your BIOS to the latest version. Once updated there should be an option to change the preset of the Motherboard Configuration to something like “Intel Baseline Performance Preset” Something along those lines. After enabling that, the problem should be fixed.

Essentially Intel made a CPU that is too overclocked for its own good. They pushed it too much. The motherboard manufacturers overclock the already unstable CPU causing these kinds of crashes and bluescreens when the CPU usage peaks. This setting basically holds back the CPU a little bit to avoid the crashes.
