Thanks for all the information everyone, I built a 14900k system whilst I dealt with the 13900ks. 14900k has proved to be stable. I had one instance of the problem along with a few crashes after enabling xmp. To avoid the crashes I reduced the ram speed and have had no further issues. So now it’s time to test out the 13900 with adjusted setting. I did all the intel CPU tests and both processors passed so keen to see if the ram speed makes a big impact. Will post back after I get some time free to test it. Cheers.

For me, looks like it was solved by updating the new Asus bios, addressing the problem with 13-14000 series cpu. Not a single crash after the bios update! Im glad you figured it out too. Looks like my ram stuff is working as it should. Thanks for the feedback though, really appreciate it!!

Nice! Yeah same here, the CPU and RAM tests were showing ok, but I had to disable XMP and adjust the speeds. Of course, updating the bios helped too. In the end, when ram skips a beat at high load (loooots of tracks and plugins), it’s unforgiving. Glad it worked!!
For sure, the new bios helps with stability, especially at high loads with big projects. The latest latest one helped me for sure. So yeah everyone who sees this in the future:
- Update bios
- Use the intel profile for the power consumption
- Try not to overclock ram and try without XMP
- Ideally, don’t get your CPU usage, RAM and ASIO above 75% for more stability.
Cheers!
Looks like we did figure it out.
Hey all,
I just wanted to update this thread with my latest status on this issue. After updating my motherboard (ASRock Z790 Pro Wifi) BIOS to version 13.01, which includes the 0x12B microcode update from Intel, I didn’t get any more authorization errors nor unexplained crashes in Cubase/Pro Tools, BUT the NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver installer continued to fail (which was apparently a telltale sign that the processor was damaged as a result of the root problem). After going back & forth with Intel customer support for a bit, they sent me a replacement processor (Core i9-13900KS in my case). I just installed it this morning, and now the NVIDIA GeForce driver installer completes and all the errors are still gone. PHEW! Saga complete. 
Thanks again to @daveotero and others for sharing their experience on this issue. Since I’m not a gamer I probably wouldn’t have discovered it otherwise!
Cheers all,
Brian
Nope still crashing here… it disappears sometimes but then reappears when I open older projects that were made during the time it was crashing…
Same plugins in my template, same setup, newer projects don’t crash, old ones do, what’s up? Nuendo was always very stable for me, now it’ll just keep crashing at times incessantly, can’t even boot it up sometimes…
I either get a cannot run because corrupt plugin error - syntax error on Kontakt, or full on serious problem has occurred message.
When rebooting it’ll often just go to initializing and then close itself, or start loading a project and then again, just closes…
