AMD Users PCs Bricked By Spectre And Meltdown Fix
As those AMD users accepted those Windows updates, their PCs began to brick completely, with issues such as blue screen crashes and other problems. Unable to even restart their machines to fix them, Microsoft finally pulled the patches from some of those systems, admitting that the update had been the cause that has been throwing AMD under the bus. Microsoft states on their website that some AMD chipsets don’t match up with what documentation was provided to Microsoft, which caused the incompatibilities with the fixes.
The issue of Spectre and Meltdown is still something of concern however, as it has many potential risks such as personal information being vunerable. Microsoft is working hard with AMD to figure out the problems, and Gamingbolt will be here when they do.

Saki Yet another reason to stick with console
the words of life right there, although PC has the graphics of heaven. Consoles are always more secure and shit for some reason.

KyloCrux Luckily as an AMD user, I've had zero issues.
Same here, hopefully many others didnt get hacked too.

TTG as usual way behind schedule with news. The issue is with old Athlon processors and Windows halted pushing the updates out to them immediately after they started going out.
