Intel CPUs are known to exhibit issues if they draw more power than specified, especially when overclocked or under heavy load.

My suggestions:
• First, make sure your BIOS is updated to the latest version to reduce the risk of such problems, and use the default BIOS settings, as much as possible.
• Then, try an upgrade to the latest Linux kernel — use version 6.16 from the trixie-backports repository (Debian 13).
• Also, make sure you have the latest package intel-microcode installed from Debian.

If the issue persists, fiddle around with the related BIOS settings:
• Disable “Enhanced Turbo” or similar aggressive default settings if enabled
• PL2 or PL1 to maximum of 253 W.
• LLC to "Mode 7"

Finally, ask ChatGPT or your AI of choice. :-)

Best regards,
