I have the following CPU:
AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache
Series Phenom X4
Model HD960ZWCGDBOX
Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor
I'm getting BSODs and an event code:
A corrected hardware error occurred.
Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor ID Valid: Yes
Processor ID: 0x3
Bank Number: 0
Transaction Type: Data
Processor Participation: N/A
Request Type: Data Read
Memory/Io: N/A
Memory Hierarchy Level: Level 1
Timeout: N/A
This appears to be an L1 Cache problem with the 3rd Core in my CPU. I assume I need a replacement, unless this isn't the cause of my BSODs.
Can I simply turn off this core in the meantime? If not, is there any other suggestion?
