The last generation has been a total mess for both Intel and AMD.

AMD had motherboards frying CPUs, crazy stupid post issues due to DDR5 memory training (and my personal build fails to post like 25% of the time due to this exact same stupid shit), and just generally less than a totally reliable experience compared to previous gens.

Intel has much the same set of problems on their 13/14th gen stuff: dead chips, memory training issues, instability.

Wonder if it's just a fluke that both x86 vendors are having a shitty generation at the same time, or if something else is at play.

Memory training:

leave the system powered to complete this process, which in some instances has been seen to take up to 15 minutes.

Have you tried this?

If you don't let it finish, the system will continue to POST with unstable values.

Holy crap. Never heard of this. Thanks!
