I've been building computers for 20+ years and this is the first time I have ever regretted building one. This is the system I built:

CPU: i9-13900k 13th Gen Raptor Lake
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming ATX
GPU: Galax GeForce RTX 4070ti EX Gamer
Ram: 4x 32G DDR5 288-Pin 6000(PC5 48000)
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elitre 360
Power Supply: MSI MPG A1000g - 1000W Power

My system keeps shutting games off at random. First I thought it was a Graphic's Issue so I went from a 3060ti to the 4070ti in hopes of fixing the error and nothing. Through Extreme Tuning I have learn that I ha a heating issues so my first guess was I purchased a faulty cooling system so I returned my Thermaltake TH240 ARGB liquid cooler for the NZXT. Thermal throttling didn't change.

Not understanding why I was having a heating issues. I finally sent it to a PC repair place. They informed my that my mother board is designed to over clock at normal setting and basically my motherboard was force feeding my CPU with all the power it wanted. Causing it to over heat. The PC guy than attempt to throttle the energy going to the CPU to attempt to stop to from maxing out. This kind of work for a few days.

I have reinstalled the GPU from a clean install 5 days ago and did a full windows repair 3 days ago.. This fixed nothing or improved nothing.

This latest game to give my the fastest grief is Helldivers 2. I went into reliable History and pulled this:

Reliable History

This is my Extreme Tuning when I stress test the CPU:

Stress Test 1.0

I pulled up System Information app, since I saw you asked someone else to do it. I'm trying to give you as much info as I can.

System Info

I put a lot of money into this system and I basically have a giant paper weight that runs word and excel. Please help.

I think you made a typo in your post, you probably meant to say i9-13900k instead of that i9-16900k.
If your talking about having a 13th gen CPU.

I'll let you know that I had such issues with one or more of the builds that I built in the past and in more than one case it had been insufficient power delivery witch was the culprit.

Funny one would be even less inclined to think that because sometimes you could be sitting with brand new PSU installed and the pc in question and it would still be shutting games off at random.

So If I where you, I'd swap out the PSU for another one and see if that might be the issue.
After that I would check to see if the GPU is getting enough power and is not being limited by something software related.

Then if all that checks out, follow that up by clean installing the OS before playing any games.

This PC was build and everything was fresh installed. All but 1 hard drive is new and the power supply is a 1000W Power Supply that is new. I have done a Windows Repair and clean GPU install.

I did notice that my NZXT cooler on the CPU (Has the thermostat on it) never matches the stress test on temps.

Also, I can run Skull and Bones Graphics and the second I go to Helldivers2 the game crashed within 5 minutes.

I have also notice that Steam purchased and managed games tend to have more problems. Skull and Bones will run for hours yet Helldivers2 crashs in 5 minutes.

Insightful yet, unless you start with a fresh clean Install of your OS you can't really without expanding issues start to determine what keeps you from playing, with a repaired windows as you say your beating around the bush.
