Intel Undergoes Crises That Might After Your Computer Or Laptop

Intel has been experiencing unwanted malfunctions reaching out for help to other companies specializing in hardware and software. Having requested that companies place a halt to the distribution of their version of the cure, to the newly found security flaw, that Intel has been experiencing known as the “Meltdown.”

Shortly after discovering what the problem causing the “ Meltdown” was, Intel released updates known as patches to solve the arising problem. Subsequently, Intel receives notice from users that the patch was causing many systems to perform unwanted reboots and only work as intended on the fourth (Haswell) and fifth-generation (Broadwell) processors.

Intel is still not completely certain onto how to fully solve the problem but may have a few suggestions:

  • Wait for Intel to produce another version.
    • If a user already made a change they could go back to their previous release.
      • Window 10 users can “rewind to previous restore point"
        • For computer motherboards, Intel recommends to “flash it with older, stable firmware”
          • Intel also recommends waiting till the reboots pass to avoid any further complications.
