Hi  RamyerM , nice to meet u , and thank you for responding on my post . I installed the ssu software that u asked for and put the resulting logs in the attachment , the games i had issues was Planet Crafter ( most crashes from all of them , it crashes random during my livestream like 5 times in 2 hours ) , then got problems with Grounded ( when i try to start the game it gives me an error about memory , i played that game with older graphics card and procesor using the maximimum settings and had no issues , now with beter gear it say that memory error that have no sense ) , and last game i had problems was V Rising ( the game just dont start , it was loading then go back to windows ) . As for the troubleshooting i dont know how to do it and show u the result , if u have any recommendation pls let me know and i will do my best to make it ( ps. im not like a professional pc builder or software guy ..pls make it easy for me if possible )

Hello JakoGaming, 

Thank you for sharing us this logs. For now, let us try to make sure your system is in optimal settings. I did notice some of your drivers needs to be updated. As such, please update them to the following versions: 

• Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.5522 (WHQL Certified) 
• NVIDIA Studio Driver - WHQL Driver Version: 555.85

As for the BIOS version, I can see there are two models of the Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ICE. Would you be able to confirm if you have the Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ICE 1.0 or the Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ICE 1.1? As much as I want to confirm this for you, our support is limited when it comes to Original Equipment Manufacturer Devices. This information is critical as this will allow us to determine what BIOS version has been recommended by your OEM. 

I will be waiting for your reply.

I made some print screens of my drivers and put them in the atach , i check all of them and got them to the last version available , i check also the bios version it was f4h , now i updated to f5a ( the last one i see available on their site )  .

[RamyerM_Intel]

Hello JakoGaming, 

Thank you for following my initial recommendation. Since the issue still persists we kindly ask for your to apply the following settings in your BIOS: Updated Guidance RE: Reports of 13th/14th Gen Unlocked Desktop Processor Stability Issues

For precise instructions tailored to your motherboard's specific BIOS naming convention, we recommend consulting directly with the motherboard's manufacturer.

By the way, in the control panel, what is the power scheme that you are currently using? I will be waiting for your reply.

Hi , sorry for not responding for a few days but the settings i need to make in the bios was too much for my knowlege so i need to ask some people to help me out and i found something that i think was the problem. It seems that the procesor drained to much power on bios default settings . So as a recomandation from the guy that helped me out i did this :
1 - reset bios to default ( in my case was on optimisation profile )
2 - set the power limit 1 and 2 to 253
3 - enable xmp ( i have 2 xmp profile and since i didnt know wich one is beter i enable xmp 1 )
Then save and exit ... i did same things that caused me problems and nothing hapened anymore , no crashes , no memory error , no blue screen , temps are much lower than before . The only problem is that when i did a benchmark on cinebench i lost some performance points .... but im glad that i can use my pc now , and wait for intel to find out whar happened there and i hope we get a proper fix. Thx for your time and pls let me know if is ok what i did

Hi Ramyer , i didnt respond for a few days because i wanted to test the pc stability a litle . The result is negative , just changing the power limits didnt help me , it is an improvement because i dont get as many crashes like before but they are still there , i try to make a livestream on Planet Crafter game and in 3 hours i got like 6 crashes , in another day i got crash trying to launch Dota 2 , and last night also in Dota 2 crash to windows when game was intensive . Pls if u can help me understand how to apply those settings , i just cant find them in my bios , since i bought this procesor i got only problems non stop , it ruins my streams and i cant use my pc like i did before , i wanted an upgrade and i got nothing ..is worst than my old 11700k , and im shure that something is bad with my specific procesor because i dont think it was suposed to act like this just out of the box .

Hello JakoGaming, 

I recognize your need for assistance with configuring the BIOS settings. For detailed guidance that aligns with your motherboard's unique BIOS terminology, we advise reaching out to the motherboard manufacturer directly. They are best equipped to provide you with the correct instructions, as the naming conventions for the settings may vary from our recommendations.

Applying this settings are essential to determine if this is an issue with the CPU and if a replacement is needed.

You may reach out to them using this link: Gigabyte Support

I did contact the suport from Gigabyte and they tell me to upgrade to the latest bios they released few days ago because that may solve the problem , they say that bios remove Perf drive profile and apply Intel Baseline setting as default , i did the update sistem seems to be stable for now but my question is : is this profile like something that i need to keep or shoud i contact them again and ask them to help me apply those specific settings u send me ?

[RamyerM_Intel]

Hi JakoGaming,

I recently had this issue myself, and the problem is that motherboard manufacturers set some power configuration higher than the ones on Intel spec (not that Intel said anything opposing this, they want to get that edge to win the AMD race).

So even if your CPU is working stable you might be giving up some performance and might still fail in a few months since the CPU has clearly degraded.

My recommendation for you, if possible is to push for an RMA.

Também estou com o mesmo problema, I9 14900kf + ASUS ROG APEX ENCORE - BIOS 1301 .  

Hardware instável em jogos, limitei a frequência dos CORE-P para 5.8ghz para estabilizar , acima disso o desktop desliga.

Tive um i9 13900kf com o mesmo problema , somente com 1 mês de uso... mandei para a garantia e nesse meio tempo comprei esse 14900kf.

Bom dia, tenho um I9 14900KF + ASUS ROG Z790 APEX ENCORE BIOS 1301 + WC CORSAIR ICUE H150I ELITE CAPELLIX, fonte gamemax pro 1250w platinum...  estou tendo problemas de instabilidade ainda , mesmo com a BIOS já atualizada , tenho que deixar os CORE-P em 5.8ghz para estabilizar.. acima disso, o desktop desliga.  Já passei por isso com um I9 13900kf .... será que o processador degradou ? pois não consigo deixar acima de 5.8ghz nos CORE-P ...
