Started getting crashes constantly on all browsers, games and whatever.

Seems to be related to gen 14 Intel CPUs and Asus motherboards but my BIOS didn't have the settings I was told to change.

Anyone knows about this and has any pointers? They would be much appreciated.

@retoor
If that address comes out faulty in the memtest, I'll ask you for lottery numbers 😂

@Demolishun

Yeah. Most definitely since I updated BIOS and enforced Intel settings things seem more stable but I still get occasional crashes (at least no blue screens), so yeah, likely the CPU had at least some damage.

Still, the retailer didn't object to my RMA, so all good. Annoying, cuz I won't have the PC for some days, but hey, could be worse.

@Demolishun

I have a 14900K. It's *meant* to be OC'd, yet still crashes on stock settings.

As you linked, seems to be related to mobo manufacturers setting retarded limits for power and current.

That would explain a lot. I mean, initially, I had some trouble while games compiled shaders, which is a fairly intensive workload.

But since you only do that once, no more trouble.

Then, YouTube started to crash.

"Turn off hardware acceleration"

I did. 5 minutes later, crash. It's not the GPU.

I grudgingly sat through memtest scanning 128 GB of RAM.

Everything passed.

It's the CPU because games tend to be mostly single threaded and don't como even nearly to top power consumption.

But heavy multi threading workloads like browsers seem to tripb it hard.
