MCA L2 error

[cobrakiller58]

Woke up to this message in my email. I've never seen it come up before and would like some explanation of the error, it's clearly a hardware error. It appears to relate to the CPU but CPU failure is rare in my experience and has normally been a motherboard or power issue. The system appears to be functioning normally aside from this message.

Have you run a memory test to make sure the RAM is good? Or checked that the RAM is well seated?

Start taking everything apart and test it. Memory test, CPU stress and keep the power supply in mind as being the problem.

I'll slap in a windows drive and run intelburn test and see what happens (hopefully nothing.....) I also just realized i have tasks scheduled for the morning when this error originally appeared which is likely what provoked this to surface.


Update:tests revealed nothing no errors on memory test i guess i'll wait and see if the error repeats itself someday
