It appears every time at log time [ 301.7320xx](where the x represent the scale of the approximation). In the previous log it appeared at [ 301.732037], now it appeared at [ 301.732042]. It happens just once at that moment and then never more until I reboot. No MCE gets logged with kernel 2.6.26.8 nor with Windows Vista 32bit, not even under very heavy load on memory and cpu(like 3d games or 3d mark vintage). Is this really an hardware problem? Why does it get logged only on kernel 2.6.27.8 at that exact moment? Now I'm gonna compile kernel 2.6.28-rc7 and see if there it happens too. Any suggestion? It would be appreciated, because, depending on the final result, I may be forced to change the hardware(It's still guaranteed, but it'd mean some months without a pc).
