Thank you for the quick response.

My engineer resolved the issue; it was processor overheating. He controlled temperatures by underclocking. Now, it's working fine with a slight performance decrease.

Hello Mahibur,

Thanks for the confirmation. I understand you had to underclock your processor to be able to fix the crashes and blue screen of death issues you had. I will proceed to close this thread, however, you can open a new one in case you need further support or if you face any issues with our products.

Hi,

I have the same Processor i9-14900k, and Brand new opened from box.

It keeps crashing with BSOD, while booting. If boots ok, it crashed after some time.

I have Liquid Cooling System, and temperature is normal.

Why does this must need to underclock to work without BSOD?

Power Supply : Corsair 1000W,

RAM : Corsair DDR5

Motherboard : PRIME Z790-P-CSM (Bios Ver. 1604)
