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

CPU details below.

Thank you.

Ciao,
Gerhard
