Big shock: Ryzen 7 Chips Are Locking Up PCs

Nothing too crazy but a reminder that Intel DOES do a lot more quality assurance than AMD. Apparently there will be a Bios fix eventually.

"But with Ryzen chips now making their way into desktop PCs, AMD experienced its first major problem. All variants of the Ryzen 7 desktop processors are locking up PCs. The issue is related to FMA3 code, which are a set of streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) that can greatly enhance the performance of floating point operations carried out by the chips. FMA3 isn't new. AMD added support for the instruction set back in 2012."
