Corrected error > ... L3 ECC data cache error. There was a wrong bit in your CPU's level 3 cache, but with the help of the redundant error correction bits, this was caught and corrected. (If possible, enable background scrubbing of the caches in the BIOS ECC settings to catch these errors earlier.) If this is an overclocked CPU or one with an unlocked core, you deserve what you got. Otherwise, if this happens repeatedly, it indicates a hardware defect, and your warranty should cover this.
