How to stop Dying Light 2 from crashing on Onda H610M?
Trying to run this game on an entry-level H610 board is like trying to pull a bullet train with an old ox—it's a joke. I was getting a random crash to desktop every ten minutes without fail. The VRM on the Onda H610M was hitting 92-98℃ under load, and the voltage was swinging by as much as 0.16V, which just nuked the CPU cores. I tried enabling 'Power Saver' mode in Windows, but my frames dropped to a pathetic 18 FPS, which is a ridiculous trade-off for stability. I eventually went into the BIOS and manually capped the CPU power limit (PL1/PL2) at 65W and switched the power plan to 'Balanced'. I ran an AIDA64 FPU stress test and, miraculously, the system survived for three hours without a single reboot, with temps stabilizing at 80-86℃. Before I found this fix, I tried flashing a third-party microcode which bricked the board temporarily; I had to use the CMOS jumper to force a reset to bring it back to life. VRM temps are now 78-84℃ with fans screaming at 2300 RPM. Exported the crash logs and it's finally stable enough to play.
