Intel has released a statement asking end-users and platform manufacturers to use its official power profiles that have been (or are being) added to many BIOSes. The announcement comes after a wave of reports of Intel's 13th and 14th Generation Core desktop processors crashing during certain workloads.
While the extent of the crashing issues is currently unknown, many surmise that the chips are unstable under high loads due to non-standard power settings implemented by motherboard makers. In response, motherboard vendors released BIOS settings with 'Intel Baseline Profiles' that were meant to improve stability at the cost of performance, but those profiles often don't follow Intel's actual default power profile settings.
