New CPU or Boat Anchor

[Gregory P. Ennis]

List,

I installed an FC4 desktop system on a 500 mh hp pavillion without much
difficulty.  After the updates were done and I started tweaking some
user stuff I started having failures with some error reporting on the
terminal screen as the system craters.

If any of you can help me decide to use this PC as a small boat anchor
or to replace the CPU etc I would appreciate your help.

The errors are as follows:

CPU 0: Machine Check Exception 0000000000000004
Bank 4: b200000000040151
[<c011a858>] panic+0x45/0x1b4
[<c011b1ea>] printk+0x1b/ox1f
[<c010b223>] intel_p6_mccheck_init+0x0/0xc5
[<c010b06c>] intel_machine_check+0x0/0x1b7
[<c01030cb>] error_code+0x4f/0x54

Thanks!
