Joseph,
I continued testing today with the new kernel and burned
another 11 CD's and 2 DVD's. No
GPF's occurred so I feel pretty confident that the BIOS
change solved the issue. I think we
can close the bug report and list the cause as "ASUS
Optimal" settings. I may have a weak
memory chip or something that is preventing the more
aggressive settings from working.
We had a 4 day power outage due to an ice storm earlier
this year and it may have had a
negative effect on the hardware. I will have to run a 24hr
memory test on the machine with
the more aggressive settings after 14.04 release and see if
I need to replace a memory chip
or something.
I will add an entry to the bug report stating that the
problem has not reoccurred and why. I will
be more aware and check my hardware and BIOS settings
before I bug report another nebulous
GPF of this type (e.g. the traceback was instructive and
did not indicate any running software
process but gut's level OS processes that could be related
to BIOS or hardware problem).
Thanks for your quick response and help,
B.Bogert
