Intel Crashes

www.theverge.com There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent

We got some answers from Intel, and more are on the way.

Anyone running a 13x or 14x should test their PC using Intel’s stress test utility, especially if you have had crashes. It’s permanent damage and they will replace your processor.

Also update your BIOS if you have those chips. There is a software fix for if you haven’t been affected yet

An old motherboard dies.
Her connections fall to the floor.
- I did not expect to get Live stuck in my head tonight, but there you go
  
  Edit: Not a complaint BTW, I've owned Throwing Copper since it came out in 94
Did they ever issue a recall? Crazy that the issue has persisted this long.
- No recall needed. Bios update to fix the issue. If your cpu popped already then warranty it.
  
  So a recall is probably the correct thing to do. Logistically and financially it would be a friggin nightmare
I wasn't aware of the existence of this tool until now, so thanks for posting this here.
- Glad to help <3
Was there anything new since this article 2 months ago?
