External Email - Use Caution        

 If you can capture the first 100 or so lines of the core dump file, that 
could provide some additional information.
I don’t see anything in the processor specs that excludes running AVX, SSE, 
etc. instructions, i.e., it is a recent Intel 14th generation 
processor, https://secure-web.cisco.com/16RohpBqIB1lAwZpTOwscE_gc2ArnHTlPo9KeTPBQVdyGIr6es1u_G-3v2FFqe5VfSjd3pQnH1gAbPSyAm-UHWTgzxwxHss3rOzkzAyLZ3F1YO3UJUI6V0fjDn1XJqxYp1vJWeDk8BRpFoF2vpiDadG7cnrQzjZwmkFtxhO-8KhtCg9A3j70DuCBo4OhBq6S8myGnqd45dKSoh2I_6QsEMrKXQP8wrEuq3HM1-n-V-2U7uG3YalcZTU4IrMCVA7S0pOBvZbB5vHQKdhNaNMbs5dYeSnPwl4TZ-37jKeliCv2cQyURqU6pklCB9LFWrOAym7jmgpwasYOSmrp3KOdK_A/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.intel.com%2Fcontent%2Fwww%2Fus%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fsku%2F236799%2Fintel-core-i5-processor-14600k-24m-cache-up-to-5-30-ghz%2Fspecifications.htmlNot
 being able to run those instructions would result in an illegal instruction 
error.
As of August 2024, that 14th generation processor is also listed 
here,https://secure-web.cisco.com/1ZbvivIaAcYaPn-cIFZzBkR-9GU_4jH1NhKqB4nXLzBTXCa9dO7jIC2o4vhnsNDkvSgPkswoFTDm2moPKGOUtNY0RN4cPCIqGliIlmiwXoY8qX8DbWr6hbBoH-Dv9zy88j5XuugMplVw7UYDKretZI5yQYUfSoBAlsm4hSQFx9DoKFivC2W9VvpgPCGeBKUSi5_yF4bCUcR3PElyMCV-ewUEHmS7qXbLZYjCPX2poLuaxc2IavixOanjpK-vOTAfiRXY67EWLfkcT-V5-7IS8ChCwhtWHnd7vT_4dJp03YnPH1xgf17uzqrclosYMmAX_WJg4I7B-P4xE8HbggmLkqw/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zdnet.com%2Farticle%2Fintel-chip-bug-faq-which-pcs-are-affected-how-to-get-the-patch-and-everything-else-you-need-to-know%2FSo
 perhaps it is crashing from the over voltage firmware bug, i.e., some postings 
indicate this will cause an illegal instruction error.  Intel has 
apparently issued a firmware update, but I don’t know how to verify if the 
processor has it.  Because a CPU could be damaged from over voltage, Intel 
extended the warranty for affected CPU’s when bought as individually boxed or 
when the CPU comes installed on a system motherboard as part of an out of the 
box machine.   You would have to contact the vendor you bought either the 
individual CPU or machine from to see if you qualify for a replacement.  
But I would at least try to make sure the firmware is up to date for the CPU.
I think you would see a different error if the VM was not allocated enough RAM 
or CPU cores, or if the process was running out of swap or disk space.   
If you've seen crashes like this when running other perhaps compute intensive 
software, then that would also point to the firmware issue..
