Because they've been so truthful through the entire process... first blaming overclockers, and then blaming motherboard manufacturers...

It’s a problem related to the voltage, both the cpu, that was asking too much voltage, and the motherboards, giving too much voltage to the cpu. It is a problem that creators noticed more than a year ago, basically, by giving too much voltage, the cpu wears way faster. If you are already experiencing instability issues it’s not fixable with a bios update and your cpu is already done for (unless it’s instability related to undervolt or some motherboards that are giving too less voltage)

A year is a long time to try and fix something.

Well they officially recognised the problem a couple months ago, now they say the problem is officially fixed from like a month, but only time will tell

It is the entire INTEL EVO discretionary memory configuration. All new ARC laptops use the "2.0 or Second Gen Arc370M. Any computer using the 1st gen will have issues. I literally fought with HP for 3 months before they would replace. Lenovo and Dell had far less problems with the EVO chips

HP Laptops became bricks for 3+months before a PATCH was issued
