Much like everyone else with a Lenovo system, you’ll have to wait until Lenovo releases a BIOS update and then update your machine through the Vantage app that’s pre-installed on all recent Lenovo machines.
Note that. in general, “the latest” BIOS update for anyone’s PC won’t necessarily fix this issue, depending on how old the latest BIOS update is. In the case of Lenovo, their most recent update was in September, but that one doesn’t resolve the problem so a newer update is needed.
It’s a lot.
For ASRock I have to
I mean I am decently computer literate but I would not blame someone who just likes to play games for having a brain hemorrhage over it
The pop up warning is gone now for me after I did a bios update.
As mentioned above, it’s not too difficult. Go to your motherboard website and download the most recent Bios file. Put it on a usb drive. Restart PC, enter the BIOS with DEL key. Then look for a flash option.
I’m a little stuck.
I found the bios update.
Loaded it onto a FT32 usb.
In Bios, I go to advanced, quick flash.
Nothing works when I click file - repeatly.
Stumped and trolling through guides.
I just need to get a goshdiddly darn flash drive.
After that ASRock makes it pretty simple. It does look like my BIOS is from 2023 though so an update is past due, honestly.
I have to order a flash drive on Amazon because I only have external hard drives atm (NTFS, in use for work files, am not reformatting it)

Forgive the inevitable question but did you unzip the file?
Worth asking 
I unzipped the file and removed the zip from the USB - llike the video guide had.
There is an EFI folder, a guide and 3 files.
I am in the exact same situation, pre-built by CLX as well.
I could be wrong, but I think this is because of an update that Intel just pushed out because their newer CPUs are having serious issues with gaming right now. Ironically, I was only aware of this update because I read an article where somebody high up inside AMD was talking about how they’re dominating the gaming CPU sector right now because they made a good product and Intel made a terrible one, and according to the author of the article the update is not fixing anything it’s actually making things worse. That may not be the update in question, but I wouldn’t expect an immediate and easy fix if it is either.
Edit: here’s the article, it may not be a bios update, but there is a revision to Windows for something going on with Arrow Lake cpus.

So I have an Asus motherboard gen 14 intel CPU. I had this crash issue when i first built the PC back in March. I configured the bios with the following:
Bios> Advanced> CPU Config > CPU Power Management and turn off Intel CPU boost 3.0 and Turbo Boost.
Haven’t had a problem since I changed those settings.
Today got the pop up that would announce itself every time I loaded up wow. How annoying. So fine, I went and got the new BIOs and updated it.
I got a crash with the new BIOs.
Turns out the new bios resets your defaults and both Boost and Boost 3.0 were enabled. Once disabled I haven’t had another crash.
Ok, I updated my NVIDIA drivers while looking up this topic here on the forum, and now I have read through this post.
Here’s the issue: I don’t know what brand my motherboard is or even how to look it up! I went into Control Panel > Device Manager but none of the items in the list there seem to be the motherboard. Unless… is “motherboard” the same as “CPU” in this particular context? My processor is Intel(R) Core™ i5-14600KF.
But anyway I bought this computer a little over a year ago from MetaPCs and they have really good customer service. But it’s late at night right now and they aren’t open 24/7 so I’ll have to wait until daytime to call them. They should be able to tell me exactly where to download a BIOS update from, but also I will want them on the phone with me anyway while I follow the instructions that people posted in this tread to install the update, incase anything goes wrong or I get confused about a step mid-way through.
MSI motherboard here. Just recently got this PC and no issues so I updated the BIOS because that Intel issue can be a costly one. The warning popup from Bliz is gone, so cool beans. I would have never known about this issue otherwise, so that was appreciated.
wait i havnt seen a new one for ASRock yet, where is it?
edit: nvm i found it, im dumb
Update for those using Lenovo Legion gaming PC’s.
I manually checked the Lenovo Support website for my Desktop model and found that there was a newer BIOS update file available for download than what was available through the Lenovo Vantage app.
The version I had installed was O5UKT3FA, however on the Support site there was version O5UKT40A dated October 14, 2024. This version did not appear when checking for updates in the Lenovo Vantage app for whatever reason.
I manually downloaded the Lenovo BIOS installer and after I updated the BIOS, the WoW Launcher error message no longer appears, so presumably this version fixes the issue.
In order to find downloads for your Lenovo system you will need to go to their support website (just search for “Lenovo Support” in your favorite search engine). Once there, choose PC - Detect Product and after a few seconds it should take you to the Support page for your model of Lenovo PC.
Once there, choose Drivers & Software, and click Select Drivers in the Manual Update box. Then click BIOS/UEFI and you should see the most recent BIOS for Windows file available for download.
Download the one with the most recent date (Oct 14, 2024 for me), then go to your Downloads folder and run the file you downloaded. Follow the instructions and let it reboot your PC and apply the update. Don’t turn off your PC or mess with it and once it’s done it’ll restart a couple of times and then you’ll be back in business.
No idea why the Vantage app doesn’t have this newer version available to install, but it is what it is. It’s very easy to install the update, just download it and launch it and go make a sandwich while it does its thing.
I don’t even see one yet for the z790-c. Awesome. Guess I’m not playing WoW anymore.
A lot of motherboards will allow you to load the BIOS update file from a sata drive(HDD or SSD) and some might allow it from nvme drives as well, but I haven’t personally tested from an nvme. I know that my asus b660m-a d4 board definitely can and I’m about 95% sure our asrock b660 pro RS can as well, but I’d have to double-check.
MAKE SURE YOU UNZIP THE FILES WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE AND IF YOU ARE DOING IT FROM A HDD/SSD: PUT THEM IN THE ROOT DRIVE DIRECTORY LIKE C:\ or D:\
Same, I just updated my Bios upon that recommendation.
Then you shouldn’t be getting these warnings. The i5 isn’t affected.
Correction: the “K” suffix (“KF” in your case) means that you are affected.
