i9 14900K Stability and Crashing Issues after updating BIOS

Purchased system 4 months ago in May.
 
Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
Intel Core i9 14900K
- 128GB RAM
- MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI (BIOS M.61 8/14/2024)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
 
Still having issues with crashing during gameplay of Star Wars Outlaws. Crashes happen randomly; ranging from 15-30 minutes of gameplay before system completely restarts.
 
What else is there that I can do to fix this?
 
Appreciate any assistance.
 
Full specs attached.
 
EDIT: Also verified that I'm using ME Firmware ver: ME_16.1.30.2361 and that I've selectecd "Intel Default" for CPU Lite Load Control in the BIOS settings.

Replying to self as I was not able to edit my message.

 

MSI released new BIOS on 2024-09-05 that is the release version instead of the Beta version. Was able to have over an hour of gameplay after installing the new BIOS. This has improved the performance of the processor and may have addressed my problem fully. Will update if problem arises again.

 

EDIT: Unfortunately did not last. Gameplay for about 30 minutes before system shut itself down again. Difference this time was that I had Discord, Spotify, and Steam open during this gameplay. Still has an issue.
