A BIOS update for motherboards that use Intel's 6th generation Core "Skylake" processors will be soon released by Intel's motherboard partners in order to fix a bug that could make systems "freeze." A post on Intel's Communities page described that certain multi-threaded stress tests like Prime95 can cause the Slylake systems to freeze.

Intel confirmed that an issue affects all 6th generation Core products, and is working with its motherboard partners to get the fix across to users through a system BIOS update.
