IBM hardware error log only shows that "an unrecoverable error occured" and system was rebooted. Now for the question-is this serious? I have asked IBM for help but they have no help (great thanks). I also have another system (same build showing only 1 like error at start up its not hanging like this one but its not performing well). Before you ask this is IBMs new X360 with the faster BUS speed. Thank You in advance David Blomberg
