Changes to BIOS settings can trigger crashes on your PC.
Changes to BIOS settings can trigger crashes on your PC.
A short while ago I attempted to power on my PC but it failed to start despite trying all standard checks. I had it repaired and they confirmed everything was fine, so I brought it back in today. After turning it on again, everything seemed normal until I enabled XMP and restarted. The system crashed immediately afterward. Only by resetting the BIOS settings with a jumper cap did I resolve the issue. This recurrence happens whenever I modify BIOS parameters—whether it's XMP, OC values, or TPM 2.0 activation. Currently, I’m considering leaving the BIOS in its default configuration, but my 9700k at 4.6GHz is pushing the limits and overheating. What should I do?
