Hello abo555,

Thank you for your response.While checking the actual test we noticed that the processor that you own seems to be an engineering sample, which is basically the cause of the issues that you have been experiencing.May I know where you purchased the actual CPU?Intel® engineering sample processors, also known as Intel® Qualification Sample Processors, are pre production processors loaned to Intel's Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Original Device Manufacturers (ODMs), and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). They are used in the product design cycle prior to product launch. Intel engineering sample processors are not for sale or resale and are the sole property of Intel.Feel free to take a look to this link find out more about engineering sample processors:https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005719/processors.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005719/processors.htmlhttp://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005712.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005712.html(You may need to copy and paste the links provided into a separate tab in case that you have issues when clicking on them) Hope to hear from you soon.Best regards,Diego S.

Thanks for the reply.

I understood that you were not wrong.

I contacted the supplier. However, there is no reply so far.
