(In reply to Carlos J. Puga Medina from comment #2)
Thanks for the suggestions, Carlos.

I seem to have a dilemma. I need to have VTd enabled to support my Windows 7
virtual system, so the question is whether VTd with semaphore is more stable
than VTd without it.

>From the blog, it is not clear to me that enabling rc6 is related to my pro=
blem
or just a good thing to do. In any case, I had already been running with it=
 set
to '5'. There was a note that a bug in Sandy Bridge could lead to hangs if =
bit
1 was set, though a later note indicated that an update to the DRM code mig=
ht
disable that optimization on affected Sandy Bridge systems. This is from old
memory as I have been running it at '5' for several years.

I'll monitor for errors and see of the semaphore makes things better or wor=
se.

Finally, where did "Robert" come from? I have not used that name for almost=
 60
years, though that is my first name. I started using my middle name in first
grade. I'd like to find the source of any such reference and squash it, if
possible.

Again, thanks!
Kevin
