Hardware:
motherboard: Gigabyte MA770T-UD3
CPU: Phenom II 545 (RB-C2)
RAM: GSkill F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ (4GB)
I am running everything at stock speed and voltages.
I run linux and am getting some Machine Check Exception errors in my logs. Here are a couple of examples:
I am not usually seeing any instability issues from these errors. However, about once every couple days I will get a hard lockup that requires a reboot. I have posted to the AMD forums with no response. I have posted to various enthusiast forums and most people say to RMA the CPU and motherboard. However, I am past my 30 days at Newegg for that (I have had this machine for 31 days), and I don't feel like waiting months for AMD and Gigabyte to give me new parts.
It seems the errors are related to the L2 cache, but from my reading, these errors can be a result of a bad CPU, RAM, motherboard and PSU. So, it's not automatically a CPU problem. Does anyone have any insight?
