Re: MCA error, possible causes?

 Hi John,

 Thanks for the explanation. I ran some tests and ended up being a power
savings mode (aka unstable mode?). Disabling this feature put an end to the
freezes. I came to this conclusion by stress testing the box for 3 days,
and there were no issues. Nothing, then I stopped the stress test and about
15-30 min later it froze. It seemed to only occur during periods of low
load. I have not received any of these errors after turning off this power
savings mode.
