I changed my BIOS' ECC settings by enabling scrubbing and now my problems are gone. The BIOS settings I now use: DRAM ECC Enable [Enabled] DRAM SCRUB REDIRECT [Disabled] 4-Bit ECC Mode [Enabled] DRAM BG SCRUB [Enabled] Data Cache BG Scrub [Enabled] L2/L3 Cache BG Scrub [Enabled] More info about these options: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/77909774/m/346009152831 Because these BIOS options seem to help (I now converted several big MKV files using ffmpeg in runs of >24 hours) I don't believe it's a bad processor or motherboard. Also the DIMM replacement guidelines on the site below mention these L1 and L2 cache errors as a result of ECC memory failure. http://wiki.hpc.ufl.edu/index.php/DIMM_Replacement My motherboard is an ASUS M3A78 Pro, with 4850e AMD processor, and 2x 2GB kingston ECC DDR2 800MHz PC6400 memory -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
