Yep, you just need a rock solid system. This chip just doesnt like instabilities.

The case might be that your Vcore graph is stable, but you check your voltages and thats spiking or dipping, even though that might not reflect in your Vcore graph it still might or will cause a crash.

My suggestion to anyone suffering from "degradation" inspect your voltage and Vcore graphs. I bet they are nothing like this
