I've exhausted all my options I have replaced EVERY component in my computer, i spent thousands of dollars trying to fix it. All of my games suddenly crash out of nowhere or just refuse to load. I've tried reinstalling windows, updating graphics drivers, antivirus, fresh install of everything. NOTHING is working. Any help would be appreciated

Benchmark test passed with flying colors, along with SSD scan

Specs

Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI II
Processor: 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900k, 3000 Mhz, 24 core
GPU: NVIDIA Gefore Rtx 4090
PSU: 1000 watts

If the problem is only in games, what is the temps of gpu and cpu? It sounds like you're able to reproduce the problem. If so, check using performance monitor and task manager and reproduce the problem.

gpu temps are perfectly fine even when running intense games
 
a steady 50c my task manager isn’t overloading or anything i actually had someone look at it recently and they were kind of stumped
I'm not sure what overloading means. You should be able to monitor memory usage, disk accesses. active processes, etc. It's likely that something is changing at the time the problem occurs. That something should give a clue as to the possible causes.
 
Have you done the 13900k bios update due to problems its having at moment with stability



Your bios should be 1703 or 1801 if its below then update bios!.



This from google


If your ROG STRIX Z790-A motherboard and 13900K CPU are crashing in games, it could be due to high default power limits, default loadline calibration, or motherboard BIOS settings. Try enabling stock limits, raising them gradually, and updating your BIOS.

Here's a breakdown of potential causes and solutions:


Possible Causes:
  • High Default Power and Current Limits: The motherboard might be defaulting to high power and current limits, which can lead to instability.

  • Default Loadline Calibration: The default loadline calibration for voltages might be causing issues.

  • Motherboard's Default "Auto" Settings: The motherboard's default "Auto" settings for power and current limits might be problematic.

  • Overclocking: If you're overclocking, the CPU might be unstable at the current settings.

  • BIOS Settings: Outdated or incorrect BIOS settings can also contribute to crashes.

  • CPU Issues: In rare cases, the CPU itself might be faulty.

Troubleshooting Steps:
  1. 1. Update Motherboard BIOS:
    Ensure you have the latest BIOS version for your ROG STRIX Z790-A motherboard.
    • Enable Stock Limits: In the BIOS, enable the stock power and current limits.

    • Gradually Increase Limits: If necessary, try raising the limits gradually to see if stability improves.
  2. 9. Contact Support:
    If you've tried all of the above steps and the problem persists, contact ASUS support or Intel support for further assistance.

Additional Tips:
  • Monitor Temperatures: Ensure your CPU and GPU are not overheating.

  • Check Event Viewer: Review the Windows Event Viewer for any error messages related to crashes.

  • Consult Online Forums: Search online forums and communities for similar issues and potential solutions.

  • RMA: If you suspect a hardware issue, consider contacting the manufacturer for a return or replacement.
