Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation

EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.

How to repair your graphics cards

WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE. Just picture it for a moment: you’re rampaging through your favorite game, decimating monsters left right and center, silver sword drawn, coated in oil, and then suddenly, pop! System crash. What the heck?! The PC reboots, you get back in-game, then five minutes later, the same again. Try one more time. Three minutes later, wham! The game closes to desktop. Frustrated, annoyed, and disgruntled, you shut the machine down. Time to sit down and actually do some work.
