Intel is investigating game crashes on top-end Core i9 desktop CPUs


Crashes may be related to CPUs running above their specified power limits.

Scattered reports from Core i9-13900K and i9-14900K users over the last couple of months have pointed to processor power usage as a possible source of crashes even in relatively undemanding games like Fortnite. Intel said in a statement to ZDNet Korea(via The Verge) that it's looking into the problems, escalating it from an "isolated issue" to something that may be more widespread and could require a more systemic fix. If power limits are to blame, the good news is that users can adjust these in the short term and that motherboard makers could fix the problem in the long run by tweaking their default settings in future BIOS updates.
