[hardware Error]: Machine Check Events Logged Centos
failed to load Windows, throwing the user at the "attempting repairs" screen, which would do something for a few minutes and then say Windows couldn't fix the problem. This leads me to think that there is a hardware problem, and I was wondering if there's anything at /var/log or somewhere else that could provide some info on what's going on, or if there's any test I could run, and what I should be looking for.

The only line I could understand and that I think might have something to do with the problem was /var/log/dmesg.0:[ 11.632723] [drm:radeon_pci_probe] *ERROR* radeon kernel modesetting for R600 or later requires firmware-linux-nonfree. But lspci | grep -i vga Returns 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Whistler XT [AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series] And System > System Settings > Details > Graphics shows Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile is being used. So I guess the error was "solved" by using the onboard graphics card? There was also /var/log/syslog.1:Apr 19 20:14:09 magui kernel: [ 1.087417] pci0000:00: ACPI _OSC request failed (AE_ERROR), returned control mask: 0x1d /var/log/syslog.1:Apr 19 20:14:09 magui kernel: [ 8.510757] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x

What should I do? up vote 7 down vote favorite 4 I have http://askubuntu.com/questions/605369/mce-hardware-error-machine-check-events-logged-appears-in-syslog-what-sho installed the latest version of OSSEC (2.8.1) and I have also enabled email notifications. And I am getting loads of these sorts of notifications saying that there is a Hardware Error and something about mce: OSSEC HIDS Notification. 2015 Apr 04 20:09:22 Received From: Bath-Towel->/var/log/syslog Rule: 1002 fired (level 2) -> "Unknown problem somewhere in the system."
