AMD processors are still dropping like flies. There are further cases

Problems with failure rates of popular processors AMD Ryzen 9000X3D they start to look more and more serious and they can already outperform the troubles of the controversial 13th and 14th generation Intel Core series. They appear on the Internet almost every week new reports of users whose computer suddenly stops workingand the diagnosis is brutal – dead CPU.

Only in recent days have they appeared on Reddit two (1, 2) new cases. The first victim used an expensive and decent motherboard ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero. After a few hours of playing ARC Raiders the computer completely froze, and after reboot only the diagnostic code “00” was visible, which usually indicates a critical CPU error.

The processor itself did not show any visible signs of damage – there were no burns or bulges. However, after replacing the CPU with a new computer, it started working flawlessly, which practically excludes other causes.

The second case looked very similar. The user was using the connection ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming + AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D for almost a year. One day the computer simply stopped working. The website confirmed that the CPU is dead and what’s more The technicians allegedly had more than 20 similar cases under their belt.

The most disturbing thing is that More than a year has passed since the first reports, and neither AMD nor motherboard manufacturers have yet indicated a clear cause of these failures. Yes, defective processors are replaced under warranty, but for users this means long weeks of correspondence and waiting for a new unit.
