[SOLVED] CPU Error in Archiso

Hello,
I had a working Arch installation but i recently experienced random reboots of my System (Screen would turn black and pc reboots). Sometimes i wouldn't even get to the login screen. I tried reinstalling the kernel/ nvidia drivers but that would't help. So i just tried a full reinstall. In the Iso I get the following error:

archiso kernel: LHardware Error]: cache level: L3/GEN, tx: GEN, mem-tx: GEN
lines 1517-1582/1582 (END) 628.0604321 [Hardware Error]: Corrected error, no action required.

root@archiso #uname -r
5.16.11-arch1-1 

I also get the same issue in Debian.

Pc specs:
- amd ryzen 3600xt
- msi b450 gaming plus max
- nvidia 1660
- 16g of ram
notable bios settings:
- a-xmp enabled
- disabled c-states

I also have a fully working Windows 10 installation which is running without issues.

Re: [SOLVED] CPU Error in Archiso

Looks like setting power supply idle control to typical did it.
