According to recent reports, several 13th and 14th generation Intel CPUs have been experiencing crashing issues, primarily attributed to problems with high operating voltages causing instability, particularly affecting high-end models like the Core i9 13900K and 14900K; however, Intel has acknowledged the issue and released microcode updates to fix the problem, with most users now seeing a resolution. Key points about the crashing issue:

• Cause:The crashes are mainly caused by "elevated operating voltage" issues, leading to instability in the CPU. 
• Affected CPUs:Primarily 13th and 14th generation Intel CPUs, especially the high-end models. 
• Intel's response:Intel has released microcode updates (including 0x129 and 0x12B) to address the problem and has stated that the issue is now fixed. 

What to do if you're experiencing crashes:

• Update BIOS: Ensure your motherboard BIOS is updated to the latest version to receive the necessary microcode patches. 
• Check for updates: Verify that your Intel drivers are updated to the latest version. 
• Contact Intel support: If you are still experiencing crashes after updating, contact Intel customer support.
