Drivers wont install. I have 40tb and yet it refuses to install and update. Package is what

[forest tulip]

What CPU do you have?

(No typo here)

[devout ember]

drivers wont install

i launch any game and it crashes

[forest tulip]

Please answer the question, due to the following that may break some assumptions

[tardy sedge]

Some Intel 13th/14th gen desktop CPUs (unlocked CPUs, as well as locked i7/i9), may have stability issues due to excessive voltages. This may show up as errors, crashes, and BSODs. In some occasions, this error may blame a different part (e.g. out of video memory) despite it being caused by a defective CPU.

Please go to this Intel Community thread for further information.

If your CPU is currently exhibiting instability issues even after performing BIOS and microcode updates, please contact Intel or your system builder for a warranty exchange (RMA).

whats that supposed to do

[forest tulip]

We don't know what CPU your computer has

If it was 13th/14th gen CPU that is either unlocked, or is a locked i7/i9, your CPU may be at fault

[forest tulip]

14900KS

Contact Intel for RMA

NVIDIA installer failures, shader comp failures, UE games crashing... textbook CPU failure

[devout ember]

RMA?

[forest tulip]

In the meantime, if you need to keep using the computer while you wait for RMA authorization, do all of the following in order

[forest tulip]

Warranty replacement

Note: they may be out of stock. If they do, they'll let you know of options. A refund should also be possible.

[devout ember]

So you're saying my cpu is fck'd ?

[forest tulip]

Yes

Also it's OK to swear in this server

[devout ember]

that explains it

I will order myself a new one whilst i figure out what to do with this one

[forest tulip]

Drop P-cores, E-cores, and ring by 300MHz each
Update BIOS to latest

Still do the RMA as it's already exhibiting instability, the above two are just for you to buy time. Updates cannot fix broken CPUs

[devout ember]

the bios is updated to the latest

[forest tulip]

Then it ded

[devout ember]

dead but still working?

[forest tulip]

Yeah, error prone now

You can buy extra time by dropping clocks. This CPU is defective, so you can use your warranty.

[devout ember]

time to spend yet another $800

[forest tulip]

A temporary 12400F/13600K is significantly cheaper

But fair enough

[devout ember]

I have another pc rocking a meh 12600k and another 4090

[forest tulip]

Come to think about it how long have you owned this 14900KS?

[devout ember]

2-3 months 🥲

[forest tulip]

Did you update the BIOS when you obtained the new CPU? I see the rig appears to have seen CPU upgrades since 2022 (as 14900KS didn't exist)

[devout ember]

the motherboard was updated to the latest bios before installing the 14ks

[forest tulip]

And then it never saw any updates since then?

Then there could be a period of time where the KS did indeed see hazardous voltages

[devout ember]

I bought the 14ks on the 28 September this year

Also could i not just issue a refund from the place in which i brought it from rather to bother with intel in such

[forest tulip]

As the CPU has already been used for about 2.5 months or so, check the refund policies

Intel's own is unconditional for these CPUs, so if you want to, try the retailer first. If that fails, check with Intel.

[devout ember]

yeah i missed it by like 20 days or so
