i9 14900kf Stability Issues

yort — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 17:55:13 GMT

I seem to be having the same issues as most. Upgraded my system, new motherboard, i9 14900kf processor, DDR5 memory and new NVME drives, only thing left from previous build was the GPU. I'm having constant issues with gaming, crashes over and over and over again, after 3-4 crashes in a row, my pc will reboot 1-2 times in a row ands the cycle starts over.

I have even tried to run a performance test multiple times to get a passmark score and the test runs except for the CPU test, which causing a system crash every time.

Would it be worth trying for an RMA to give another processor a chance? I just spent $3000 last year upgrading this system but still considering spending more money to switch to AMD so I can enjoy games again.

Did you do a fresh install of Windows?

Additionally, have you ensured that you have the latest BIOS running on your Motherboard.

Yes, I upgraded everything in this build. new NVME drives with a fresh install of windows 11, MB bios updated last month and its been getting worse for the last few month. Build was finished back in December, so not that long ago.
