What is the best course of action? My Budget is Strictly limited to 40k. Which chipset to go for? AM4 or AM5 or LGA 1700? Depending on the chipset/RAM the above specified Combos are coming for ranging between 33k (Intel 12400 Combo) to 35k (Intel 1440 Combo) 38k (AMD i7 5700X3D Combo) to 40k (AMD i5 7600 Combo). Because my present AM4 chipset is giving several errors causing BSODs, Restarts & Freezes. Should I go with Intel LGA 1700 based 12400 or 14400 processors because I am afraid of getting the same above errors due to AMD platform but I don't know about AM5 platform errors. So you have to tell me whether AM5 platform is working without getting any errors or not like the above ones specified in my AM4 setup. I intend to use these parts purchased now for another 4-5 years minimum. I am also thinking of changing my present CPU cooler since it does not have a AM5 Bracket. Can we overclock all above specified processors & underclock them as well? Does the above specified motherboards which have only 2 RAM slots enough for Gaming for at least 3 hours daily along with browsing or watching HD movies? All parts will be purchased online from sellers mentioned in pcpricetracker.in. Please clarify my doubts. Sorry for a lengthy questionnaire. Thanks.

You can build a bare minimum R5 7600 + 32GB RAM + B650M mobo under 40k, 45k for something better. R7 5700X3D has similar gaming performance to R5 7600, so no point in AM4 (if your mobo was a working B550, would have been a different case).

This has a better mobo than the 11k options, so better VRMs & a 3rd M.2 slot as major benefits. The better VRM can handle even the successor of 9800X3D easily.

When I check the Event Viewer, it says
SCEP Certificate enrollment initialization for Local system via *amd-keyid-907d65e9b562315997dd5ad086b2b7598957b92c.microsoftaik.azure.net/templates/Aik/scep failed:

While I scoured the internet for a solution for the past 4 months it says a it's because of AMDfTPM which either AMD or Microsoft should have given a driver update.

Since AM4 is a older platform they stopped thinking about this problem.

I saw people asking for solution in reddit, MS forum & Steam forum regarding their 5600, 3800, 5900 processors & for B450,B550,X570 motherboards as well. But never saw anybody asking for AM5 or LGA 1700 platforms same problem arising.

Thats why I was asking for suggestions regarding change of platforms.

I formatted my SSD 4-5 times until now and clean installed Windows 10 & 11 twice already but still I am getting the same error when I check Event Viewer after my PC restarts after a BSOD while browsing or playing games. It does not matter.

I already re-pasted my processor and re-connected all my cables and removed/re-connected my NVME while I was replacing my Antec EAG Pro Gold 750w PSU with Cooler Master MWE Bronze 750w V3.

I already tried every kind of solution offered in reddit or MS forums but no result.
