Wow. Hope it gets fixed soon. I’d be livid about this even if I only used the machine in the off hours.

I installed the new beta BIOS update a week ago and since then my machine is been ROCK solid.

Interestingly, my fan is running harder now; whilst CPU usage is low but spiking on 1-2 cores. It never did that before; so maybe the problem was caused by a thermal bug in the bios.

It tends to crash when idle, and the machine is such an enormous improvement over anything Intel have made that I'm happy overall.

The issues with the BIOS will be solved and I'm not an overclocker.
