    I believe that all applications must be unstable in the way that Windows says and therefore it is necessary to limit them to obtain better performance for Windows, this is a sad conclusion...

    Regarding hardware, we can't blame you, when we limit your performance by the task manager's economy mode and not by the energy saving mode, even so, I thank you for your attention and I hope someone solves this serious flaw...

    Thanks, Lawrence; the problem is hardware - I also see some WHEA errors and crash dumps.

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000009f (0x0000000000000003, 0xffff8b82c4b2c060, 0xffffc18f8a05f738, 0xffff8b82e221b560). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\Minidump\072923-8531-01.dmp. Report Id: c81fdf87-963e-4f6a-aeb2-8492a1cb463d.

    A corrected hardware error has occurred.
    
    Component: PCI Express Root Port
    Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)
    
    Primary Bus:Device:Function: 0x0:0x1C:0x0
    Secondary Bus:Device:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
    Primary Device Name:PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7ABC&SUBSYS_0BBF1028&REV_11
    Secondary Device Name:
    

    Can you share some minidump files from:

    C:\Windows\Minidump\ to find the root cause?

    Thanks Lawrence,

    The programs should not stop.
