I've been dealing with a series of frustrating problems on my PC, like frequent game crashes, unexpected application closures, random restarts, and blue screens after startup. It all started about three to four months ago. My first thought was that it might be the GPU causing these issues, so I sent it in for an RMA. They confirmed it's fine but still plan to send me a new one.
I have an i9-14900K that I've had for about a year and a half. I ran tests on my SSD and RAM, and they came back without issues. However, I'm experiencing access violation errors, especially while streaming on YouTube or browsing the internet. I also did a clean install of Windows 11, but the problems persist. I'm considering whether I should RMA my CPU. Any advice or suggestions from the community?

Before you make any big decisions, make sure you're not accidentally overclocking anything, and that Windows 11 is a legit version linked to your Microsoft account. It's also wise to handle all components with anti-static precautions.
I haven't overclocked anything, and my Windows installation is definitely from their website—no issues there!
