On the i9 14900k 3080ti msi z790 edge wifi 1000W 48G RAM and 1tssd
Games would keep crashing I contacted Intel and they gave me these solutions.
I tried them and they worked, didn't make my pc "normal" but I could boot up games with an occasional blue screen or discord restarting.
But for some reason when all is good I get on one day and I can't load into valorant or the riot client if I do load in game I crash either before I get in a match or when it's over and the frames are just awful now. I can't play osu for more than 5 minutes and downloading new beatmaps crashes the game. I updated my drivers and did a USB fresh install of windows 10 and still with before downloading drivers and afterwards the issue is the same. Updated my bios too
Games like fortnite I can play but will crash, Minecraft crashed before the solution but better minecraft crashes constantly.

I've been dealing with this cpu's problems for 6 months and it's getting exhausting

how's your cooling? Was this a new Windows install or you upgraded an existing system? Do you have XMP enabled? What errors is it giving for the crashes?

Some games don't give errors they just close.
I use windows 10 but everytime I run into some 14th gen problem I realize there's no fixing it so I factory reset and fresh install. I did have xmp enable but on or off or different speeds hasn't made a difference.
Cooling okay and I never let it overheat, I keep an eye on it because I want my parts to be long lasting.
Blue screen errors the ones I remember is like watch dog clock out and page exception not handled or something.
Most of everything says drivers but I've got bios, Intel drivers, gpu drivers motherboard drivers, peripheral drivers. Not sure just how much deeper I can go there

What’s your power supply?

#

Oh nm

#

How many sticks of ram do you have installed?

Go to the bios, set the bios to Intel baseline defaults

#

Or load bios defaults

but that does also not work

#

What are your cpu temperatures?

That’s so odd make sure all the power cables are seated in properly. What peripherals do you have installed?

Does only having one keyboard and mouse plugged in help?

tried something like that before but it didnt do anything.
doesnt matter anymore tho. i figured the only thing i changed that crashed my pc was updating my bios. i go to downgrade to my old bios and it sucks, i upgrade back and it corrupts my os.
i go to reset everything and do another fresh install of windows. and it bluescreens before I can install it. cpu is officially dead

turbid jewel
#

Are you on the latest bios version?

regal atlas
#

default settings

turbid jewel
#

What speed is your ram?

regal atlas
#

i have it off because high speeds are unstable

turbid jewel
#

What model / brand memory?

regal atlas

#

Check your ram voltage, make sure it’s 1.35v

regal atlas
#

where do i find

#

thats not under dram right?

turbid jewel
#

Should be under your dram settings

regal atlas

DRAM Voltage setting

stupid question, if you set bios to default settings, does it improve?

regal atlas
#

ive tried multiple bios settings

flint verge
#

can you test swapping components like running that CPU in a different board?
else i would consider an RMA

#

@regal atlas Have you updated to a recent bios to avoid degrading your cpu?

#

Go and search in windows under event viewer or reliability history for windows system errors, and track down the blue screen codes

#

If you are getting errors like CPU_WATCHDOG for example, it might be silicon wear

#

Also, would highly suggest not adding voltage to vcore as they instructed if the new baseline profile is not in place, in all core workloads like when these cpus ramp up just prior to loading into some games it will subject it to a bit of torture which can lead to these issues

#

Here's the settings for context

#

Strongly suggest taking a look at this, and if it is btw worse under these settings, then I would almost immediately jump to considering an RMA

#

This is by their recommendation, so if it doesn't work, and the blue screen codes point to CPU core stability, it's warranty worthy

#

We'd have to know whether it is first though, but reading your story gives me fairly big suspicion that it could be

Mmm I should've read some more. Lol.

Well still go to check for the blue screen error codes. Those will point at least in a semi-correct direction to pinpoint the problem

#

On the latest bios, with the default making things worse, I'm quite suspicious still lol

Run efi memtest overnight

cunning yacht
#

Looking for these

If thats happy run occt

#

I think MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION, UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP and SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED also fall under this iirc

#

At least from what I remember on these cpus

regal atlas
#

All of these error codes are familiar, but i cannot download windows on my pc without the download blue screening

PL2/PL4 and ICCmax are the important ones
