help decipher panic report please (MCA errors, Error overflow … )
Hello. My MacPro 4,1 crashes frequently; it may have started with the update to 10.8.2, but I'm not sure. I unterstand there's a machine check abort (MCA), but I haven't found out what IA32_MC … might be (memory?); the report very much resembles this one (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4322330) but speaks of error overflow and has no backtrace, the error code ("Error code: 0x0000000000000000\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2050.18.24/osf , almost at the end) starts the same, but lacks the mk/i386/trap_native.c: 280 the other one has. It also, with some of the same differences, resembles this one (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4276086?answerId=19757205022#19757205022); differences are highlit by underlinings.
I'd be grateful for any information on this. Thanks.
