LR causing CPU Spiking/crashing - new build Intel 14900K

[Gene5E5C]

Anytime I import or starting working in either Library or Develop modules, my CPU will spike to 100% then computer will crash.  I have tried disabling parallel preview generation and have increated cache to 10GB which is located on a separate M.2 drive.

Any ideas on how to prevent LR from maxing out CPU and crashing?

Intel i9-14900K

Gigabyte RTX 4070

64GB RAM

2TB Samsung 990 M.2 for OS

512GB Samsung 870 for cache

8TB HDD for data

Windows 11 Pro

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

Also, please post a screenshot of your LrC /Preferences/Performance/

And look at these other Discussions (unfortuantly none solved):

• Lightroom Classic takes 2:28 to start completely
• LR Classic doesn't open any exsisting catalog anymore
• Strong GPU and RAM usage in LrC
• Lightroom Class crashes on Collection Export as Catalog
• (Windows) Takes 1 Minute or more to move between images
• Moving between edit in photos is slow

Computer crashing is almost always either a hardware malfunction, or corrupted/out-of-date driver. Re-install all your drivers. Run diagnostics on all of you hardware. If it happens when the CPU is maxxed out, the likely causes could be either a CPU malfunction or a cooling system malfunction.

Hey Buddy, I too have i9 14th 14900k and it was crashing same while doing heavy work like Render or export in Premiere or After Effects. Somehow I changes few settings in BIOS and it was better but now INTEL has sorted the issue and all you have to do ir to update your BIOS mannualy. Go to your motherboard provider site and download the latest Beta version of BIOS and install that. 

Its fixed. I have updated mine and its working perfectly fine.
