I don't think so. There as been a long series of broken CPU, but newer ones are now fixed. > I had troubles to install Eaton Intelligent Power Protector : always > resulting in crash (SIGSEGV).

If you still see crashes, it's likely that you are using broken software which do not correctly use locks. > I guess eaton IPP is not very well coded.

We have found that many softwares have bugs with HLE. The next jessie release will have HLE disabled. This has been done in version 2.19-18+deb8u7 that is currently in stable-proposed-updates and that will be released with the next stable point release. You can access them by adding stable-proposed-updates to /etc/apt/sources.list (in that case take care of not installing other packages from this repository) or fetching them from a mirror.
