Aurora R16, constantly crashing, poor CPU performance

What happens if you run the 5 minute stress test in XTU . . . does CPU usage go to 100%?  What else is throttling besides Current during the stress test? Try to post a larger image.

This is an interesting article

“Intel is aware of reports regarding Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen unlocked desktop processors experiencing issues with certain workloads. We’re engaged with our partners and are conducting analysis of the reported issues.”

I, too, have this issue. R16 with 14900KF and a 4090 with 64gb of RAM. I haven't even played a game. My system just blue-screens randomly with random drivers. One time it's NTFS.SYS and the next It's the kernel. My system is just unstable. It blue-screens about once a day or so. I'm applying the Intel Xtreme setting from the other thread. I hope it helps. It runs hot, too. Like it's laboring to function.

BIOS 2.6.0 was released today. Let's see if it helps.

Peace and successful outcomes to your problems, everyone!

@WinnebagoJay​    please keep us posed regarding your efforts and results.

For BSOD do a pre-boot test to make sure it passes all tests.

It should not run hot when idling, unless something is taking up CPU resources.

@Vanadiel​ All tests pass successfully. I tried the Intel XTU and it still crashes. I'm very bummed and feel like I bought a lemon. I'm past my 30 days so I'm stuck with this thing.

@WinnebagoJay​ What are your idle temperatures for CPU and GPU?

@Vanadiel​ 58 and 50 respectively. I can't seem to figure out what triggers the crash. I think it's random. One time I'll get a BSOD and the next it locks solid and I have to power cycle it. 

@WinnebagoJay​ so it crashes or locks up just sitting idle without any use?

@WinnebagoJay​   58C at idle is not good. Consider getting some good quality thermal paste and re-pasting your CPU water block.

@Vanadiel​, correct. I can't figure out a pattern. Nothing that points to a culprit. 

@Vanadiel​  Here's my most recent bugcheck. I'm losing steam and getting real tired so I may wait to research it until tomorrow or Thursday. Chronic fatigue is a killer. 

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0x0000000000000020, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffff80743ad99b0). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

I'm back online. I've decided to do one last thing before I pitch a fit with Dell. I'm going to restore the OS and see if that does anything. Dell won't talk to me again until I do so. Sigh. Wasted time. I'll be back to let everyone know if anything changes.

Peace, friends.

If anyone is still following, my issues were all caused by a bad SSD. It was the Western Digital version of the drive. I couldn't restore to factory default and finally it stopped booting. A Dell tech came out today and replaced the drive. I'm restoring everything now and the system is rocking right along. No issues. I'm hoping it will be good and stable now.

@WinnebagoJay​   Great news!! Hopefully you can begin enjoying you new rig.
