Question Always crashes on desktop, never in VR

[Jet1728]

For about six months, in desktop mode VAM crashes at an arbitrary time, usually less than ten minutes into opening a scene.

It doesn't seem to be hardware related. I have 32Gb Ram and a RTX 4090, on an i9 10900k, and (and this is the point) I NEVER get crashes in VR.

Can anyone suggest any plausible solutions, or strategies to try? My 'clean' install seems to work fine, which suggests it's something I've added, but how can I find out what?

Thanks in advance.

To me having RAM using a XMP profile made VaM crash often without warning. Once disabled the RAM was slower but much more stable, which is better.

Thanks for this. I think I already had XMP disabled, but opting for one of the default 'AI' overclock options in my MB seems to have fixed it.
Still puzzled why it was never a problem in VR, but thanks anyway.
