I can type out the rest. Not sure if it's needed. Just wondering what is going on. This has been running on the same box for about a year with no issues and then no changes (other than I introduced a set of dev/lab Linux machines and an older legacy XP machine to pull data from before we threw it out and wiped the drive.
It's running BSD (pfSense) as a virtual firewall, Dell T5500 with Intel Xeon x5680 CPUs (two) and 72GB of Wintec ECC RAM (9x8gb sticks). LSI RAID card (8708em2), This was an NVIDIA NVS 290 or 295 video card, issue persists with or without video card (usually run headless). Three SSDs are plugged into the motherboard, all Patriot Torx brand, a 32gb for system cache, a 96gb for VM cache and a 512gb for VMs. There is a 7.2TB array off the LSI RAID CARD.
Running latest dell (stable) BIOS which I believe is A19.
So to cause this error and fatal shut down all I need to do is copy data (big data 3GB++) across the virtual bsd/pfSense firewall, all within the LAN. If I copy data from a Server 2012r2 (evaluation) over to a (virtual or local) W8.1 (evaluation) machine it will shut down and cause this error. This is totally out of the blue, not happening on the three other production machines with similar setups so we are stumped. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
