Hello guys
I consider upgrading my pc and buy a new i5-6500 skylake cpu and new motheboard [MSI B150M MORTAR]

But now before 2 days I saw at the news that skylake bug causes Intel chips to freeze under ‘complex workloads.....And now I am afraid of buying a new skylake...can somebody tell me if it is a good idea to buy a skylake now and Ηow many dangerous this bug is?? Can they fix it ?

It is not a problem a regular user will ever see. The 'complex' work load they are referencing is from a complex mathematical computation program not a run of the mill video game. So unless you are a scientist or a mathematician working on your doctorate you have nothing to worry about. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/intel-skylake-bug-causes-pcs-to-freeze-during-complex-workloads/

PS the bug is being fixed as it is not a hardware bound problem but a BIOS level mistake.

If it's a manufacturing error, they can't. Only if they get all bad CPU's back and give new ones for people. Also, are you Lithuanian (your name is kinda Lithuanian)?
