Starfield Crashes Hit PS5 and PS5 Pro During Launch Weekend

Starfield is crashing repeatedly on PS5 and PS5 Pro during its launch weekend, with Digital Foundry and Reddit reports showing lockups across modes; our tests found uncapped framerates can trigger crashes on PS5 Pro, but capping at 60fps and disabling the PSSR2 upscaler helps some players, though issues persist on base PS5 as well. Bethesda has yet to publish a patch, and the problem appears not universal but widespread enough to draw scrutiny ahead of fixes.

Starfield Crashes Roil PS5 and PS5 Pro Ahead of Patch

Starfield is crashing on PS5 and PS5 Pro for some players (not universal). In testing, crashes occur across modes; keeping the frame rate capped at 60fps helps on PS5 Pro, and disabling PSSR 2 has reduced freezes in some runs, but issues persist on base PS5. Digital Foundry also reported crashes during testing. Bethesda has not released a patch yet, leaving players hoping for a fix soon.

RAM bit flips blamed for up to 10% of Firefox crashes, sparking hardware debate

A Mozilla thread discusses a claim that up to about 10% of Firefox crashes are due to hardware memory bit flips, based on crash telemetry and post-crash memory testing. The discussion spans potential causes (overclocking, overheating, weak power supplies, Rowhammer, Dell hardware quality) and mitigations (ECC RAM, redundancy, watchdogs), with many commenters skeptical of the 10% figure and noting that software bugs still dominate Firefox crash reports. The topic highlights how hardware faults can influence software stability, but consensus on the exact share remains elusive.
