Interesting stuff Carlos, David... I am following along but not sure yet what to do... But will add a couple tidbits of info related to your thoughts...
1. I rebooted my laptop into Windoz10 and let it run Boinc and a few other automatic tasks overnight. No problems with Windoz10 and laptop was running fine this morning... So if it is a hardware problem Windoz10 is keeping quiet about it.. Dunno if there is someplace specifically I should look...
2. Executed mail and mail -u root, both responded by saying there was no mail....
I did "journalctl | grep mail | less -S" in my machine to investigate how to find out where those emails went to, and to my surprise, I see many of these: Nov 27 16:53:33 Isengard mcelog[870]: Email set up for sending Nov 27 16:53:33 Isengard mcelog[870]: Email set up for sending Nov 27 16:53:33 Isengard mcelog[870]: Email set up for sending Nov 27 16:53:33 Isengard mcelog[870]: Email set up for sending So I look carefully: Nov 27 16:53:33 Isengard mcelog[870]: Hardware event. This is not a software error.

The email is lost for ever. Bug, IMHO. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
