And I enabled a couple of checks that weren't checked in the kernel-hacking menu. .config posted on request. Now the messages log is being spammed at 2-5 second intervals by these: Feb 1 10:41:08 coyote kernel: [ 3085.501037] MCE: The hardware reports a non fatal, correctable incident occurred on CPU 0.

Feb 1 10:41:08 coyote kernel: [ 3085.501048] Bank 2: d40040000000017a Always the same 2 addresses. Is this telling me I should be running memtest86 for a couple of cycles?
