I just had the system lock-up hard, requiring hitting the reset button.
I now see in the system log:
Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: BERT: Error records from previous boot:

... continue until
Jan 11 19:28:54 e7 kernel: [Hardware Error]: 00000c00: ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff
ffffffff ................
I understand that this is related to the preceding crash. If so, what does it tell me?
Doing a search suggests that if this happens rarely then it can be ignored- true?.\
I now see that I had it also last Oct but not earlier. This hard lock-up happens at times
(more than twice for sure)
and if I can do something about it then I would.
TIA
