Strange freezes and crashes with my new PC

Hi everyone,

I hope I write to the correct section in the forum with my question.

My computer config:
ASUS Prime Z790
Intel i7-13700K
Nvidia RTX 3070
1100W BeQuiet PSU
64Gb DDR5 - 5600

My computer runs smooth on default configs, even with BIOS XMP enabled to 5600Mhz, yet some games (CoD Warzone) crashes in multiple ways. Sometimes the game itself closes, sometimes blue screens, sometimes black screen with some game elements burnt in to the display (mostly with white color).

I thought I have a problem with nvidia geforce experience, and DirectX12, yet now I found some strange things.

First of all, CoD Warzone runs smoothly if I use Windows's power save mode. (high performance mode instantly closes the app)
I also tested the PC with OCCT and large set for CPU test instantly kills my PC to blue screen.
Even if I turn off the OC in the BIOS (BIOS refreshed to the latest) (XMP disabled, AI Tweaker reset to auto mode), the same happens.

Now I have a somewhat strange situation. Nearly everything running smooth, COD runs with power save mode on, and not even trying to run the OCCT stress tests :) I turned back OC to 5600 with XMP enabled.

Someone has any idea what should I try to make this work?

Thanks,
David

Nope, the attached screenshot was from CPU large dataset stress test.

UPDATE:
With ASUS AI Suite (don't even know why I need something like this) I raised CPU Load Line calibration and CPU Current Capability values to the max and now it seems like everything is okay.

I thought buying motherboards today is an easy thing to do, yet I had to dig the parameters for hours and trial&error them to make the computer work. Yet I still feel that this PC is close to freeze again. :)

UPDATE2: I use XMP-Tweaked in BIOS. (if anyone else faces the same issue)

glad you got it working. cpu load-line calibration is risky as it can over volt your cpu. make sure its not going above 1.45v core under load. (honestly should be stable at 1.325v core) altho i have not used the 13th gen cpu's and they could require slightly more voltage than the 12900k that i use. but judging by the core temps you were getting adding more voltage is likely going to make things even hotter. this could be from a poor IHS on the cpu or from lack of mounting pressure on the cpu it self. maybe someone else can give you more direct input on the 13th gen and AI suite LLC.

That just means you needed more voltage. Lower your LLC back down to 4 or you'll be overvolting the hell out of your CPU. Bump the CPU volts up a bit and try that. Sounds like, with XMP enabled, you need a bit more voltage to your IMC.

Thanks for the insights. With
  • CLL on level 4 and
  • CPU current Capability at 130%,
the heaviest stress test shows 1.338V as max value (1.31 as average) and shows average 88-93Celsius, with a max value of 100 (with 1 core, other cores at 97)

The strange thing for me that without XMP, there were problems as well. Now with these settings, everything seems okay.
