  2. Pentium F00F bug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_F00F_bug

    Intel Pentium processor. The Pentium F00F bug is a design flaw in the majority of Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX, and Pentium OverDrive processors (all in the P5 microarchitecture). Discovered in 1997, it can result in the processor ceasing to function until the computer is physically rebooted. The bug has been circumvented through operating system ...

  3. Machine-check exception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

    A failing motherboard or processor can be identified by swapping them with functioning parts. Memory can be checked by booting to a diagnostic tool, like memtest86 . Non-essential failing I/O devices and controllers can be identified by unplugging them if possible or disabling the devices to see if the problem disappears.

  5. ECC memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory

    An ECC-capable memory controller can generally [a] detect and correct errors of a single bit per word [b] (the unit of bus transfer), and detect (but not correct) errors of two bits per word. The BIOS in some computers, when matched with operating systems such as some versions of Linux, BSD, and Windows (Windows 2000 and later [13]), allows ...

  7. Checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

    The simplest checksum algorithm is the so-called longitudinal parity check, which breaks the data into "words" with a fixed number n of bits, and then computes the bitwise exclusive or (XOR) of all those words. The result is appended to the message as an extra word.

  9. x86 instruction listings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

    In early processors, the TSC was a cycle counter, incrementing by 1 for each clock cycle (which could cause its rate to vary on processors that could change clock speed at runtime) – in later processors, it increments at a fixed rate that doesn't necessarily match the CPU clock speed.
