I had it before installing the BIOS, but there wasn’t a noticeable performance boost. The BIOS might have slightly increased frame rates by 5-10 fps, yet I still faced another crash in Sons of the Forest. No errors occurred—just the app closing abruptly after a raid, and I lost some progress because the game requires manual saves. I’m not overly concerned with the game itself, but I’d like to avoid similar issues in other titles.
You can share a screenshot of your startup tab. Adjust settings if needed, and good luck!
above 4g is a bios setting, just something to try if it helps. ok so if you're crashing again, disable XMP , make sure nothing else is overclocked either. if you're still crashing after disabling XMP, try a different PSU... yeah, yeah, i know, "psu tier list"... but the truth is its a really bad PSU, mysterious crashes with RTX cards one of its "features" ... but lets hope its fine now, or at least after disabling XMP. ps: if its still crashing, you could also rma the gpu first, because frankly we're at the stage where changing out parts is in order to figure this out and after all it says "video memory" (so indicating gpu)
Played a few games today; the only stable one was Rainbow Six Siege, which ran smoothly at 140 frames on my 2060. It didn’t crash much. I downloaded Hell Divers and got a crash after about 20 minutes. I’m trying to disable the XMP settings tomorrow and keep going through your instructions. If that doesn’t help, I’ll switch the PSU. I’m confused about why such a simple component is advertised as reliable. It seems like one of the easier parts in a PC, yet it still causes problems. I shouldn’t be spending so much time researching power supplies if they’re supposed to be so dependable. Thanks for the advice, and sorry about the frustration—playing on a $4k system is tough. P.S. The game just closes after the BIOS update, no memory warning left.
Turned off XMP and restarted in a second. A quick search showed the i9-14900K supports PCIe 5.0 and up to 192GB of DDR5 ECC memory at 5600 MHz. Your RAM is 6400MHz, so it should work fine. Regarding Mobo QVL, I’m not sure what it means—can you explain or point me to where I can find more info? Thanks a lot for your help; it really means everything as it’s the only thing keeping my chances alive.
your cpu can handle it, though the mobo might not. OVL is a trusted vendor list for ram on your mobos site. it’s worth looking into, but don’t assume it will work—even if it is listed, there’s no guarantee. xmp is an overclocking method, so running without it should resolve most ram problems. it’s probably just a minor issue (like ram or slots), but pinpointing it is tough without being there.
