Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run sfc /scannow to check for and repair corrupted system files.
Follow up with DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair the Windows component store if needed.
Do that first.

after updating bios, boot to bios, and reset to defaults and enable xmp, and set boot order or any other changes made
bios settings dont always carry over correctly from previous versions
post a cpuz validation link

cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here
13-14th gen intel i series are flawed from mfg process
they will degrade over time and faster with higher core voltage or overclocking
I've run the following commands on CMD previously after a crash:
sfc /scannow
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentStore
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup
Still getting crashes.
I've recently used the ASUS DriverHub installer to update the motherboard drivers, was made aware of the issue with the 13-14th gen intel CPUs so installed the fixes/updated BIOS as soon as they were made available. no overclocking etc for that reason

One other lead that I've received is that ntkrnlmp.exe may indicate a driver issue with Razer products, and i do have a BasiliskV3 X Hyperspeed Mouse...
ntkrnlmp.exe is the Windows NT Kernel, a core system component, it’s rarely the cause but often implicated in crash dumps when a driver or hardware issue triggers a failure in kernel operations, this makes it a symptom, not the cause.
Go to the ASUS website and check for a match that the software put the latest BIOS and chipset driver on and there is no mismatch.

You can test and pinpoint faulty drivers.
Open a Command Prompt as Administrator and type verifier
Select “Create standard settings” → Next → “Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer.”
Reboot. Driver Verifier will run in the background and may trigger a BSOD if a driver misbehaves, providing a clearer crash dump.
If a crash occurs, use WhoCrashed or WinDbg to analyze the minidump, which should now point to the specific driver.
Disable Driver Verifier after testing (run verifier /reset in Command Prompt) to avoid performance issues.
What PSU do you have?
Also is your RAM 2x24GB not 2x16GB + 2x8GB.
If you want to try and find out if the CPU might be the cause of the instability, you can try the following.
1. Use the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to reduce the p-core ratio to 50x.
2. Disable XMP and let the CPU run at stock JEDEC RAM speeds.
If this doesn't improve stability, it doesn't guarantee the CPU is fine (the possibility remains that it's degraded enough to be unstable even at these settings), but if it does improve stability, then it strongly suggests (read as, confirms) that the CPU is degraded.
Other common symptoms it has degraded would be if you're getting sudden application closures with no messages, fatal errors in Unreal Engine 5/DirectX 12 games, or "out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource" error messages.
Since your errors seem all over place, this seems unlikely to be a single bad driver, but more of a particular hardware part responsible for managing overall OS stability that is bad. That could be the CPU, and failing memory or a failing storage drive (or really corrupted OS) are other possible causes.
I also would bet on degraded CPU silicon and especially if the BIOS update was done after the problems started to develop.
After digging through the receipt, I believe the PSU is "Corsair RM Series 750W 80+ Gold Power Supply"
The Asus site was where i grabbed the BIOS versions when updating, pretty confident i'm on the newest version but i'll double check. The other Motherboard drivers should be up to date after using driverhub, the alternatives were manual installing each one (which I admittedly couldn't figure out) or using Armory Crate (god awful bloatware).
I originally picked up this PC in February 2024, and until Monster Hunter in March 2025 It wasn't really being used for high intensity games (and the microcode fix/BIOS update for the CPU was well before then), Would the CPU still have significantly degraded if this was the case? either way i'll add running the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to the list.
Thankfully this PC is under warranty, but i'll probably have to exhaust all troubleshooting options before the vendor gives it a look (including reinstalling Windows, which i'm dreading).
yep your right:
"Update the Intel microcode to version 0x12F to further improve system conditions that may contribute to Vmin Shift instability in Intel 13th and 14th Gen desktop-powered systems."
That'll be worth updating!
It doesn't need to be running games to degrade, and honestly, most games aren't "high intensity" for CPUs. This is why when people do run into instances that result in crashes, the first reaction is usually "but everything else is fine until now". When it comes to games, it's mostly the ones doing DirectX12 shader compilation or decompression that first show it. But anything that causes it to boost high enough in voltage/clock speed (which simply opening applications, albeit briefly, can do) may eventually contribute to it.
It's something you'll need to do further testing to find out. You can't guess with certainty based on the time frame alone.
Make sure you manually get the latest chipset driver also from the site, that's why I said compare and don't trust the software.
Sorry should have clarified - i did compare the driver versions between what the software said and the newest versions listed on the Asus web site, and they do match. The software can't update the BIOS though, I've been doing that manually.
Man maybe a fresh Win install just to rule out software, just put drivers and Steam on play some games and see how it goes, still happens it's probably not looking good for some piece of hardware.
If it was only while gaming you could maybe suspect the PSU as it's not ATX 3.0/3.1 which are made to handle the power spikes that came about heavy with the 30 series and up, some don't like them while some are ok, 850W is recommended for your PC but recommended always overshoot.
CPU? I personally don't know how bad the problem is with them CPU's.
"A tester at Chiphell, cited in a Wccftech article, tested hundreds of i9-14900K and i9-13900K CPUs and reported stability rates as low as 20% (2 out of 10 units stable) under ASUS motherboard "AUTO - 253W" profiles, 30% with reduced loadline settings, and 40% on B760/B660 motherboards. This implies a 60-80% failure rate in certain configurations, though the exact cause (manufacturing defect vs. motherboard settings) remains unclear."
"An Unreal Engine supervisor reported a 50% failure rate for i9-14900K and i9-13900K CPUs in their production environment over one year, prompting a switch to AMD CPUs for reliability."
"Hardware Times claimed a near 100% failure rate over time for affected 13th and 14th Gen K-series processors, suggesting that CPUs initially working well degrade and eventually fail, though this figure is based on their testing and may not isolate manufacturing defects specifically."
"It’s unclear how much of the failure rate is due to manufacturing defects (e.g., oxidation) versus design flaws (e.g., aggressive turbo boost algorithms or high power draw). Intel has pointed to motherboard manufacturers’ “extreme” power profiles as a contributing factor, but their own microcode and chip design play significant roles."
Pretty bad, seems if it was made late 2023 the manufacturing fault is fixed but there is no way of knowing when it was made from serial numbers apparently, seems a bit up in the air as to if it is because of manufacturing or just bad design with too much power going through, which late chips dying would point to.
and try this
cpuz also shows the fsb/bclk at 100
previous gens of intel cpus did not like it at or above 100
try lowering it to 99.5 or down just one bump to put it below 100 or its current setting
