Question PC Cant handle 3D Design

Hi, for a while now my 3D Design programm (HiCad) has been crashing whilst I zoom into point clouds. I have contacted the support and tried it on another PC and it works just fine.
What I do notice however is that my CPU cooler speeds up a lot just before it crashes and in the Task Manager it reaches 80-90%.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem or might know how to fix this? In my opinion its something thats wrong with the CPU but I dont know for sure. Thanks for any help.

My Specs: (The PC was built by me)

Intel i9-14900K - CPU
ASUS NVIDIA RTX A5000 - GPU
Kingston Fury Beast 128GB DDR5 5600Mhz (2x 64GB) - RAM
ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi - Mainboard
Samsung 980 Pro M.2 2TB - SSD
 
The PSU is a BeQuiet Dark Power 13 1000W

The CPU Cooler is a BeQuiet SilentLoop 2 Watercooler

And the CPU temp is around 65° C - 80° C

Doing a web search on this model gives very little results, can I guess this model was released about a year ago.

So the question is how does the temperature curve look like in real time? Due to obvious reasons, the fact that the cooler speeds up is as expected.
The other question is if your cooler is indeed able to quickly disperse heat, or if something is wrong so the temperature goes too high right away.

Have you done any benchmark tests to see what works and what makes the computer to crash ?
 
Your answer is not a simple "the cpu is bad and needs to be replaced".
The increase in fan speeds is an indication that the app is doing some serious computing.
This is probably an app that needs a patch or at least some settings to be looked into.
If the 14900K seriously heats up, it will simply slow down to contain the temperature, not crash.
 
Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

Regarding the benchmarks, ive done a CPU stress test and some cores go to 100% usage and around 100° C without anything crashing some stay at around 70° C - 80° C . Also there is not really any other apps/programs besides the program I use to process the point clouds themselves. The metrics were obtained using CPU-Z.

Also something to add is that Ive got a Laptop with a i9-9880H and a Quadro P5000 and it works very well on it so I dont think it has anything to do with the program itself.
 
Perhaps AVX instruction set causing local heating in the CPU, just enough to cause instability.

Simple test would be to lower the AVX offset boost clocks and see if it improves. Or set a lower overall power target to prevent high temperatures.
