And id DID run fine before the update. If the system was upgraded from 5.2, the 5.2 kernel should still be there. I would just run with the 5.2 zen kernel long enough to see if the problem goes away. If it does, then there is something in the new kernel that just doesn't aggree with your server and its hardware configuration. If the problem persists, then you have a good case for trying a power supply, but you could also have another card going south and generating NMI's. Sometimes it just isn't easy. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
