[SOLVED] The iommu fault reporting has been initialized

[Shplad]

Hi there:

I'm not having any BSODs on my one particular machine, but I have had a couple of hard locks/freezes lately that required hitting the reset button. I've personally changed nothing lately, but twice I got the error: The iommu fault reporting has been initialized .

Nothing else stands out in the system log, no patterns to the crashes. I've read elsewhere this could be bad RAM. Is there anything else know to cause this?

This entry is purely for information. Nothing sinister happening. I see these entries all the time in W10 logs.

This appears at boot, when windows does its things (initialize, load and register boot drivers, checking volumes health, checking power management capabilities, starting event log...).

That's a relief. Thanks folks.
