That explains the issues with the C2000 family. Various Linux distros crash randomly, and not just crash sometimes really just stop opening applications or stop processing e.g. apt-get.
The BIOS is a piece of shit. It's buggy, the legacy-BIOS support is unstable, the Win7-EFI and Win8-EFI modes are not good either. I patched a Win7 DVD with Win8 files, so that I could install Win7. Now Win7 runs great and stable - but only after I installed various Intel drivers that fixed the hardware flaws.
I am seriously looking forward to the upcoming new AMD CPU - Intel dod barely anything the last five years, a 2011 highend CPU is almost as fast as Intel 2017 flagship, and costed a lot less back then, had less DRM or other shit that is broken. Intel needs a proper competitor, so a comeback of AMD on the one side, and Apple notebooks with ARM CPU are very welcome to stop Intel from siting on their quasi monopoly chair.
