  • The instability issues are partly due to elevated voltage inputs from previous BIOS settings.
  • Intel's recommended power delivery settings may reduce performance but improve stability.
  • Motherboard vendors are rolling out the updates, expected to be completed by July 19, 2024.
  • Intel continues to investigate the root cause of the instability, working with partners for a comprehensive solution.
