I9-14900KS keeps crashing

Hello, i recently bought a new i9-14900KS, I payed it 800€ and it continues to crash. Without ANY program running the PC suddenly freezes and I have to restart it to make it work again. Sometimes it gives BSOD or it even crashes on the startup. After 2 or 3 crashes it work just fine but sometimes keeps crashing.

I tried using the windows diagnostic tool, RAM diagnostic tool, updated all drivers and updated the SSD.

Ps: The CPU isn't overclocked.

I payed for this CPU and I would like assistance, I'm not the only one having this problem.

Not Intel ... and you may or may not have a bad processor but please first try the following first...

 

- Run the following commands below to ensure no windows corruption:

sfc /scannow; 

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth; 
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth; 
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth; 
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup; 
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore; 

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -ReTrim -Verbose -SlabConsolidate -TierOptimize; (assuming C-drive is your main boot drive letter)

 

The above commands are quick and will take less than 10 minutes...

- Afterwards, you may then "Re-install Windows (with applications intact)". Takes about half hour or so.

 

So, you will have a clean windows image after the above. If processor still fails, and assuming you are running in Intel's 0x129 microcode bios mode, then you may have a bad processor.
