14900KF Instabillity

[ROADTRAIIN]

Hi, I am having issues with some games crashing on my computer with the 14900KF

I have i9 Intel 14900KF, RTX 4070Ti 12GB GPU, 32GB 6400Mhz RAM paired with the Gigabyte Aorus Elite X AX Z790.

I have updated the bios to F5 from F4 with the gigabyte control centre, Reinstalled Windows and Used DDU to uninstall my graphic drivers and reinstalled with GeForce Experience. Ready or Not gets a crash when launching and Fortnite just crashes my PC causing it to restart. I am not sure what else to try. 

Thank you

Hi ROADTRAIIN,

Thank you for posting in the Community!

I've noticed that you have the old version of your BIOS (F4) and upon checking, the latest version currently available is F6 which was released on September 27, 2024. I suggest updating the BIOS to the latest and let me know if the issue still persists.

Here's the link for your reference: Z790 AORUS ELITE X AX Support | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

Seek assistance on your motherboard manufacturer for the BIOS update for further assistance.

Just to add, as a general best practice Intel recommends users adhere to Intel Default Settings on their desktop processors. Intel is not changing the tuning capabilities of existing K sku processors.  Users who desire to overclock or utilize higher power delivery settings than recommended can still do so at their own risk as overclocking may void warranty or affect system health (learn more at Overclock Your CPU with Unlocked Intel® Processors - Intel).
