Reinstalling BIOS fixed crash-problem

omvendt

I have a nice rig, but it had been crashing when rendering in a way that seemed random. I read that the i9 Intel CPU can cause such crashes so I set out to reinstal the BIOS. ASUS's website isn't terribly good but they do put you thru to a human quickly. I learned that the reason that I couldn't install the BIOS was that I have a pre-built machine so I had to go to the manufacturer. From there on, it was easy. 
I am posting this because the PC no longer crashes, so I hope others will be saved grief.
