My brother bought and put together a PC for me a month ago.

 

CPU: Intel Core i9-14900K 3.2 GHz 24-Core Processor 

Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB 78.02 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler 

Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard 

Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB RT 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory 

Storage: Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive 

Video Card: Asus TUF GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB Video Card 

Power Supply: Corsair RM1000e (2023) 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply 

 

Games I play that crash my PC the past four weeks are Overwatch, Mabinogi, PSO2, Genshin, and ZZZ.

I don't know if I have warranty or not and we threw away all the boxes a while ago.

PC keeps getting BSOD and crashing. Leaving it alone doing literally nothing will make it restart itself. When a game I'm playing crashes and doesn't get BSOD or the PC doesn't restart itself, any game I try to launch will all say there's something wrong with or cannot detect a video card until I restart the PC. The CPU keeps overheating no matter what I'm doing. One time I'm literally ONLY watching videos on Youtube and the fan just started blasting and the PC crashed, BSOD, and restarted itself. My brother told me the BIOS is updated and it's set on Disabled-Enforce all Limits. Every video and google result I search for tells me I have to set it to Disabled-Enforce all Limits but it's already like that from the start and it's still crashing and burning up.

 

I'm so tired, man.

You can use "Intel RL Toolkit" to scan a tiny QR code on the side of the CPU. 13/14 gen chips have a "clock tree circuit within the IA core which is particularly vulnerable to reliability aging". They also have a bug that causes the CPU to request too much power and fry itself even at idle. You should start the RMA ASAP because Intel is slow walking returns.
