Hi @Pedro18,

Intel has not identified any instances of the Vmin Shift instability issue relating to Intel® Core™ 13th/14th Gen HX processors. The symptoms being reported with 13th/14th generation processors – which include OS and application hangs and crashes – are common symptoms that can stem from a broad range of potential software and hardware issues.

Intel recommends users adhere to the relevant Intel Default Settings for their Intel Core 13th and/or 14th Gen desktop processors, and ensure they are running with the latest BIOS for their systems. Users can check their system/motherboard manufacturer’s website and/or the Intel Product Compatibility Tool to see the latest BIOS versions for their Intel Core 13th and/or 14th Gen-powered desktop systems: https://compatibleproducts.intel.com/.

In my opinion, you can update your BIOS to the latest version for additional updates. However, for peace of mind, it is advisable to contact your system manufacturer to gather more insights and recommendation to your laptop, Dell-Where to Find Microcode for Intel® Processor
