Could there be an issue with the CPU or motherboard?
Game enhancement? So an MSI card generally behaves oddly and causes issues. If turning it on helps, keep it on. I've noticed instances where it actually improves performance. CPU throttling might turn off under certain conditions.
Indicates the CPU powers off when voltage drops below 1.300V (game boost fixed voltage), suggesting a potential hardware issue rather than a software problem.
That's correct, the setup functions properly with a boost setting of 1.300V. I also experimented with a manual frequency of 3.9Ghz at 1.3V, which still performed well most of the time without many crashes. When I switch to auto-voltage and auto-clock settings, the issues become more frequent.
I would remove the CPU and test with the new one. If it doesn't work, the issue lies with the motherboard.
I haven't encountered any one getting a completely new CPU that's not faulty after installation.
It's not an entirely new processor; it's been around for about a year.
I checked around and discovered both AMD and MSI service centers are nearby. I’ll start with AMD if they suspect it’s the CPU. If not, I’ll go to MSI. I also found a reliable method to address this problem, which should assist them.
