Getting assistance with a new builder

Hello everyone, I’m just starting out as a builder and recently finished setting up my new rig. I’m still working on making it stable. If there’s any info I missed that could help, please let me know. I often encounter irql errors while installing games or downloading big files, and I also get whea errors from time to time. I used CPU-Z to stress test the CPU, reaching a max temperature of 61°C on one core. The rest stayed below that, so it doesn’t look like overheating is the main issue. The BIOS shows a core voltage of 0.962 and the CPU core voltage is set to auto. RAM is at 1.360. It seems more stable without XMP enabled yet—I’d prefer higher clock speeds for better performance. I did have one reset where the BIOS and XMP settings were cleared after a crash. Here’s what I have: an i9 9900k without manual overclock, MSI MEG Z390 ACE motherboard, MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio GPU, Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4TB/1TB storage, G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 32GB (2x16GB), 288-pin DDR4 SDRAM at 3200 MHz with XMP in BIOS, and a Cooler Master H500M case synced to Mystic Light.

Do any of you have suggestions for my next troubleshooting steps or configuration? I ran the built-in RAM diagnostics and found no issues, and I installed the drivers from the included CD with the motherboard. I’m hoping the fix is simple and that everything is fine. Thanks in advance for any advice—appreciate it!

Shift memory to slots A2 and B2 or move the 2nd and 4th from the CPU. Check the CPU temperatures during use.

When stable without XMP, it appears there may be a memory problem. You might consider manually overclocking your memory rather than relying on XMP.

Hello, thank you for the update. The units are already placed in those positions. In regular operation the cores run around the low 30s. When under pressure it drops to about 61 or lower.

this can happen when the voltage is too low on the CPU. You might want to turn off power-saving features and check the behavior at a steady higher voltage.

It's possible the CPU voltage is too low. You might need to adjust the settings for manual RAM overclocking. Since you're new to this, double-check the recommended voltages for your specific components. Good luck!

I'll try it out after work. I'll check the BIOS for that setting and share my results once I have them.

OK, you are really really new. So you want to do some reading before you go messing around. For overclocking and such, read some tutorials. Get to know your bios and the menus. Play around with settings, when in doubt put the setting back to auto. To save settings, you hit F10 in bios to save the configuration you had input. The board will post with the new settings. So here's from MSI some reading material about overclocking, it will be somewhat informative, but it's a start. https://www.msi.com/blog/intel-9th-cpu-o...therboards

This night I attempted to install Borderlands 3, but the process failed when XMP was disabled. It appeared the issue developed gradually.

I adjusted the details significantly. It’s unclear what was intended, making it hard to assist further.
