January 11, 201610 yr Intel has identified an issue that potentially affects the 6th Gen Intel® Core™ family of products. This issue only occurs under certain complex workload conditions, like those that may be encountered when running applications like Prime95. In those cases, the processor may hang or cause unpredictable system behavior. Intel has identified and released a fix and is working with external business partners to get the fix deployed through BIOS. http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/01/intel-skylake-bug-causes-pcs-to-freeze-during-complex-workloads/ https://communities.intel.com/mobile/mobile-access.jspa#jive-content?content=%2Fapi%2Fcore%2Fv3%2Fcontents%2F524553

January 11, 201610 yr I dont think the bios work arround is the right thing to do. Funny thing is , they already released a newer stepping at late Oct 2015 Now they have to make a newer one. RMA purpose My cpu freezes during 768k FFT length calculations on Prime95
January 12, 201610 yr Crew So this is how they're disguising they're non-K type overclocking c ockblock Exactly my thoughts...
January 13, 201610 yr The guy who found this issue and brought it to attention said hes a German overclocker who had access to 200+ Skylake CPUs, anyone know who he is?
