My i9 13000 computer has been unstable since day 1. It mostly doesn't affect me since it seems to be most unstable at idle. There's always a chance when I step away for 20 minutes that I come back to a reset computer.

Tbh I just assumed it was windows this entire time.

How is 12th gen not affected? Isn't it the same architecture? There were loads of stability issues with 12th gen when it released, though I think most of it may have just been related to DDR5 being new. My 12700k is running pretty stable, but on an old BIOS version. Every time I try upgrading the BIOS it becomes unstable so I just left it on what it is. But I'm open to some vulnerabilities now.
