Hmm, the MB voltage was just at the upper limit of the operational voltage - I think the max. rated voltage goes a little higher although there are two voltages that must be kept at correct levels relative to each other (one must always remain less than or equal to the other) > lately many issues surface which tend to has something to do with > hardware, for example the excessive power consumption (ASPM).

This is going to be an 'always on' media server which will also operate as a part-time dev machine. I would love to do complete system status logging. Any idea how I could find out what the correct kernel options I need to do so?
