The microcode released by Intel this time fixes an issue with internal voltage processing that is the main cause of unstable system operation, as well as an issue where Pconfig error reporting may be incorrect, and an issue where a delayed availability of LCRD1 (Link Credit 1) from a USB 3.2 hub causes a connected xHCI controller to abnormally send ACKs.
The microcode is provided to Linux distributors for incorporation into their OS releases. If distributors are prepared to do so, the microcode update will be implemented along with the Linux kernel update, so users do not need to take any special action.
This issue came to light after a series of reports were received, primarily from gamers.

In July 2024, Intel acknowledged that the issue was due to microcode.
In August 2024, ASUS and MSI released BIOS updates to improve instability.
As of early October 2024, Intel had not even developed a tool to detect whether or not its products were affected by the crash problem.
