Brand New Custom PC Build crashing in some games but not others

[ParisG59]

I have an intel i9-14900K and a 4060 Evo 8GB I’m using an NZXT Kraken Elite AIO with 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 (2x16) an Aorus Z790 Elite AX and 3 Lian Li SL-120 Fans with a 3 intake 3 exhaust setup (my AIO is my exhaust) and I’ve tried everything I can think of clean windows install clean game installs Memory Check uninstalling and reinstalling the games running SFC checks and DNS setting clearing all motherboard drivers and GPU drivers are updated and the latest BIOS update is applied but nothing is fixing it it isn’t crashing in smaller games or Counter Strike 2, it’s only crashed so far in Rainbow Six Siege X and Marvel Rivals I’m out of ideas please help

I did it’s my first PC I had some of my friends who’ve built a lot of other systems look over it and they said it was fine I also used Bottleneck calculators to make sure I wasn’t bottlenecked

Yes the latest BIOS is applied as well as Mobo Drivers and correcting the CPU Power settings to intels recommended

ok did any of your friends tell you a "bottleneck calculator" isn't a real thing and it's just meant to drive traffic to cheapo sites that have a bunch of made up calculators on them that cater to the less than knowledgeable? because thats what those are. which is why your build is overly cpu heavy now.

anywho..

in that case pop out one of the ram sticks and run it with 16gb and see if the machine is stable in that configuration.

My friends did not tell me that thank you for letting me know! I will try running it at 16GB thank you for the help I really appreciate it
