Hey there, friend. I heard you're trying to give your older system a bit more life by upgrading from an 8700k to a 9900k. You installed it today and noticed some problems under heavy use—your computer shuts down right away and restarts. You managed to get Prime95 running on two cores but not on more than two, and it just cuts out when you go higher. You've re-seated the RAM twice, updated the BIOS from MSI's site about three days ago, and changed all the power cables and CMOS battery each time. The CPU looks fine, pins are straight, and your H115i cooler keeps things cool at 30-35°C. Everything else seems okay except for the specs of the graphics card and motherboard. You're thinking about trying some tweaks this weekend before deciding to return it. Hopefully you can fix it without needing a refund. Let me know what you try!

The 9900K consumes a lot of power. 750W might be sufficient, but imbalances in power rails or low EPS output could cause the PSU to shut down to avoid voltage issues. Would you like to try a different PSU?

It might help to remove the graphics card and use built-in support to reduce power consumption.

This will likely reduce power usage while also limiting graphics performance. It might serve as a useful test. If you decide to try another power supply, you can usually purchase a replacement at a store and exchange it within a few days for a full refund—just confirm with the retailer first.

It seems the VRM on the motherboard isn't handling the workload well, especially for a Z370 board. I worked around it by lowering the CPU voltage. Thought I'd share so others can avoid the same problem.
