File system check exit code is 8

I see... Quite serious. I've just seen there is a brand new BIOS for my MB. As, if I understood well the issue could be due to voltage incompatibility for my i913900k, could installing the latest BIOS be a good thing to do ?

And maybe trying a new SBIOS like macPro7,1 ?
If the CPU is already having issues, this may only help you a little. The BIOS update is generally recommended to update at the same time when you install the new CPU. iMacPro is still fine.
 
I've read a few threads on the subject. Usually the problematic CPUs have issues while doing stress tests on windows which is not my case. All stress test passed. Could it be a VT-D issue ? I don't use VM nor thinderbolt
Shouldn't be. To figure that out, you'll have to disable DMAR table (the patched one) and then ensure VT-d is enabled in BIOS. Then, upload the Tableset to check.

How do I do that ?

I bought my CPU in 2023, it is not anymore under warranty, seems a bit hazardous to buy a new one.

Check your BIOS. Ensure VT-d is enabled.
Check your EFI. Make sure the SSDT-DMAR is not injected and OEM Table is not dropped. You need to also ensure that the DisableIoMapper and DisableIoMapperMapping are not disabled.
Reboot. MaciASL>File>Export Tableset.

I don't see any SSDT-DMAR in my /EFI/ACPI forder, nor in my config plist ACPI tab

Disconnect from network. Export. Copy it to USB. Boot to Windows. Connect to internet and upload it from thre.
 
Can you also attach your EFI and a copy of IOReg as well?
