   I have received a number of error messages at my consoles, each   
   consisting of the following 3 lines:

   ECC data cache error.

     kernel:[15450.704022] [Hardware Error]: cache level: L3/GEN, tx: GEN,   
   mem-tx: EV   
      
   I have to report the problem to my PC supplier, who is only M$-centric.   
   Can anyone explain the various abbreviations/terms please? (I do realise   
   that the problem concerns access to a Level 3 cache location, that has   
   been corrected by the ECC mechanism).   
   Thanks
