Crashing is caused by a confluence of four separate power and voltage bugs.

Just one more update, we promise this will fix the problem, please don't force us to recall all the CPUs

I’ve not kept up to date with this but wasn’t the problem that as soon as you run these CPUs they are getting permanently damaged? Surely they have to recall them?

They might be able to make some kind of test that could reliably identify damage.

I mean, I'm skeptical, but it's not impossible.

That's the beauty of intermittent problems!!

You can't prove they aren't there, only that they are, or, that you fail to reproduce.
