What year and month do you purchase that processor? All Intel processor come with 3 years warranty. In your case, I think CPU is defective. Do you have another 4th gen CPU that you can try it out to see if this is your motherboard? Like an i3 something?


Oh sorry about the AI suite suggestion part. When does this problem begin and how long do you have this problem going?
 


This problem began about a month ago but has never shown itself as i have had this PC for 3 years now and yes I do clean it but never have had it do this
 
Let try this.

Take out the CMOS battery on the motherboard, and unplug all the cable that are connected to the motherboard for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, plug everything in, also do you have a spare new CMOS battery that you can try out?
 


tried this but still at the same issue at this point feel like giving up
