Hello Paolo,
Can you please revert the patch.
CPU is a Core 2 Extreme QX6700: SL9UL (B3) running VERY stable with ECC RAM for years now. https://ark.intel.com/products/28028/Intel-Core2-Extreme-Processor-QX6700-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB?q=Core%202%20Extreme%20QX6700 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors
CPU details below.
Thank you.
Ciao, Gerhard
