I'm just a user of Intel 14th gen hardware like you.

Changing a handful of BIOS settings is unlikely to work. I assume you have updated to the latest BIOS. The Intel Default Settings Performance or Extreme are groups of settings that vary between the two options. Pick Performance to start with. Do not run any software that overrides the BIOS settings. Do not manually change any settings in the BIOS.

Ensure you have the latest chipset and ME drivers for your motherboard.

One user with similar issues to you solved it by changing out their boot SSD, so don't assume that it always the CPU that's to blame.

There is at least one game where starting it results in a crash with the error 'Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION'. The cause of this error is the use of MSI Afterburner.

You say you can't play any of your games. What games are they, and what errors are you seeing?
