It says that the chip is currently at 26 C and the fan is running at 4000RPM. > Also, is your BIOS set to enable k-6 write allocate? And is your kernel? The kernel is, but I am not sure about the bios. There is only a wt pipeline, and that is enabled. > I found that enabling it in the BIOS, but not in the kernel caused problems as well. > And that enabling it under windows could just plain cause problems. > I rebuilt my kernel months after I stabalized the cpu. Seems that my cpu instabilites were mostly hardware. Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
