I have been battling with the dreaded RealBeanch 'Instability detected...' issue for a very long time and now I believe I have found the reason why it is happening, or more precisely I know how to trigger it or how to prevent it.
Setup: Asus Z170-A (3301) , 6700K (4.2), 4x8GB(2666 at 2400), STRIX 1070, Win10 (all updates to current date)
If I run RB stress test and keep the system busy from going to screensaver mode (Have it set at 10 mins) the test can run indefinitely without problems.
In fact it's enough to move the mouse a little every 8 mins and keep the system busy with RB.
But if you leave RB running unattended and screensaver kicks in, we are waiting for trouble.
The screen saver is a default slideshow one that come with windows, nothing special, so how does it effect the system is a mystery.
But possibly something is triggered in windows that does harm.
In other words, you are likely to get the instability detected warning and RB stress test stopped within minutes after the SS.
This can be easily spotted by quickly updating images in the slideshow, during RB stress test they update slowly.
So here comes the question for the brainy people here.
What can we do? Any particular setting in UEFI can help ? Or is it a MS bug?
