Minecraft Java Server Crash: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)

Question

My Minecraft Java Edition server has been crashing randomly with the "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" error for the past two weeks. The crash occurs sometimes within 2 minutes and up to 6 hours after starting the server. During the first month after setting up the system, the server ran without any problems, and I haven't made any changes to the hardware since then. It is also notable that the server seems to be running completely fine on different hardware.

I have already tried multiple solutions over the past two weeks, which are listed below:

What I've tried:

Updating and trying different Java 17 OpenJDK builds
Checking the RAM for any corruptions or malfunctions
Updating every available Windows update
Updating multiple drivers
Tried other JVM-Arguments
Trying to change some BIOS settings
Replacing the graphic card with another one of the same model
Reinstalling Windows and formatting the C disk.

UPDATE: SOLUTION

I seem to have found the cause of the problem and wanted to share it, because I couldn't find anything anywhere about the solution that worked for me and maybe it will help someone. I'm not completely certain that the issue is resolved, but it's been over 24 hours without any errors. It appears that the problem was caused by CPU overclocking.

In the Asus BIOS I changed this CPU-Setting:

CPU Core Ratio set to "Auto"

Welcome to Arqade! Are you running a vanilla version or are you using any mods? Because that will be off-topic here. — pinckerman, May 07 '23 at 23:13
I am using Purpur 1.19.2 with only plugins and no mods. The same server jar file and plugin versions are running fine on a different PC, making it less likely that they are the cause of the problem. — WaterFinite, May 07 '23 at 23:36
Does running any other (vanilla, any -kkit variant; Spigot/Paper/Bukkit/Sponge/etc. or Glowstone) exhibit the same behaviour, even if it is a blank server; seperate install/instance? — aytimothy, May 07 '23 at 23:38
I am running Waterfall which crashes with a similar error log. I will try making a brand new Paper server but answering if that helped may take time because the crashes occur basically at random. — WaterFinite, May 07 '23 at 23:46
Server specs (VM? Guest/Host OS? RAM? CPU?) -;if everything crashes sounds like Java or hardware problem... Are you able to remote in and play Minecraft on it? — aytimothy, May 08 '23 at 00:18
Does this answer your question? Is there a list of error codes for Minecraft? Specifically, the second answer's section that is titled Problematic frame: jvm.dll — Timmy Jim, May 08 '23 at 00:42
