I've got a laptop which has started giving some strange errors lately. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing wrong with it hardware wise, but I can't really tell. Here's the kind of error it's giving me - sometimes after I get it I can carry on, sometimes it just locks up.
NMI: IOCK error (debug interrupt?) Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 00 on CPU 1 Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Dazed and confused, but trying to continue Process swapper (pid: 0, ti=c13f6000 task=c140ce60 task.ti=c13f6000) Stack: Call Trace: Code: (A lot of Hexadecimals that I wasn't going to copy down) Sometimes it repeats this up to four times. AFAIK, I have no 'strange power saving mode' enabled, unless it's something Gnome Power Manager did without telling me. The laptop's an Acer Aspire 7520 running Arch Linux (32 bit). I know some people say Acers fall apart too easily, but this one seems to be holding together better, aside from these curious lines. What really bothers me is that this started happening only a few days ago, yet nothing had been changed for some time. For various reasons, I haven't been able to upgrade it for some time, so I'm left without much to go on really. I'm going to try and update it and see if that helps, but without knowing anything about this or what's causing it, I don't think it'd help. Anyone happen to be able to shed a little light on this? Thanks. -- Next meeting: Crown Hotel, Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2011-01-11 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
