Hello everyone, I just set up this account hoping it lands in the right spot. I purchased my PC four months ago and am really satisfied overall—no complaints at all! For the first time since getting the machine, I reinstalled Overwatch 2 to play with friends. Within ten minutes, my game (not the PC itself) crashed without any clear clues. Initially, I adjusted some settings, but that didn’t help much. Then I checked the standard support responses from Blizzard, which suggested contacting a local technician if previous steps failed. Unfortunately, they didn’t assist much. After doing some research, I discovered the problem might be related to Intel Turbo Boost. My system has an Intel Core i9 14900KF with 7900XTX 64GB DDR5 memory and updated drivers. Even after changing some drivers, the issue persisted. The only solution I found so far is disabling Intel Turbo Boost. I’m not a tech expert, but it seems performance drops significantly. Should I turn it off in the BIOS or just leave it disabled? I’ve been doing this for a few days now and it’s really frustrating. My main goal here is to figure out if I’m missing something or if there’s a workaround I haven’t tried yet. I’d appreciate any advice from others who might have similar experiences. Thanks for your time!

It strongly dislikes any kind of overclocking... the best choice is to skip it altogether. The positive part is it will run smoothly even on a basic setup—plus, it works perfectly even with a potato-powered system.
