Progressing issue with "shader memory error" and fixes not working. 14900k with zero overclock.

In January my mother and I bought computers from Corsair. I noticed initially that they were running very hot. I also noticed a few issues where games would claim that I was "running out of video memory". Which was strange given I have a 4090. 

 

I did some research and found out that if you lowered the current draw, you could make the cpu more stable. So that's what I did. Which, wonderfully enough, seemed to fix my video memory issues. I was able to play Alan Wake 2 now. Great.

 

Sadly, recently, I tried to play it again and I got the video memory error. Which means that the problem is getting worse. I don't understand because I lowered the current to be more inline with Intel specification and I thought this would fix it. I'm worried that my cpu has damage done to it because of the high current that it was getting passed though it.

Power limits have nothing to do with the cpu being unstable. It is the Vdroop from CPU Vcore loadline. What motherboard do you have? I might be able to help you fix it.
