      Hello, we have currently installed our new XG-1541 pfsense from netgate.
      We successfully installed a backup of our old Pfsense.

      Unfortunately it crashes several times a day with the error:
      "Unrecoverable machine check exception"

      Is this due to a software problem or could this be a hardware defect?

        Maybe and maybe. Was your config from a previous XG-1541? Is there anything in the System log just before it crashes? And crash dumps showing in WebGUI? Anything in /var/crash?
