hey computer cracks - I need your support.
I have bought my computer from HP (prebuilt - see speccs below) and am now considering to buy new cpu / motherboard etc. But I am not very experienced and would like to prevent buying wrong parts again as I did already with buying new RAM (mismatched clock profiles: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=105932343&f=188)


I have had crashes with my current computer and I want to check my options. I am 99% certain, it has to do with the Vmin Stability Issue, reported by Intel: https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/July-2024-Update-on-Instability-Reports-on-Intel-Core-13th-and/m-p/1617113/highlight/true#M74792

I have already:
1. updated my BIOS over HP (although HP only provided microcode 12B where as Intel already provided 12F Version)
2. started a ticket on HP, but I have low hopes, that they will really be able to help

So I am considering buying new AMD 7000 or 9000 Series processors, since with my HP Motherboard I am locked to Intel 13/14th gen (i5, i7, i9). So consequently I would also need to buy a new motherboard which eventually results in the need to even replace more parts of my current ... I would want to keep the 4070Ti obvisouly and for memory Id like to upgrade to 64GB (2x new sticks).

So my question to you guys would be:
1. What parts do you say would I need to replace?
2. Which new parts would you recommend? I was thinking about AMD 7000 or 9000 Series and Asrock 650 Motherboard.
3. Anything specific I should double check to make sure it will work?


Thanks for your support
