Hey everyone! My computer has been crashing with blue screens lately, and from what I can see in Task Manager, it looks like the CPU usage spikes during these crashes. I'm looking for recommendations for a new CPU. Here are some details: I have an NVIDIA 3070 GPU, three monitors, and I often run multiple games at once, including a heavily modded version of Final Fantasy XIV. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

First off, can you check what blue screen error you're getting? It really helps narrow down the issue. Also, knowing your current CPU is crucial for recommendations. Since you're using an i9-9900k, I'd suggest looking at Ryzen 5000 series or newer Intel chips like the i7-11700K, especially considering your workload with multiple games.
You might want to look at upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5800X or something similar if you're aiming for better multi-core performance. Just make sure your motherboard is compatible! It sounds like it's time to give your setup a boost.
