The message below was put to all login sessions this morning. I have never seen
this before. There is nothing more in /var/log/messages.

The machine is 8 years old, always switched on, AMD 8150 Eight-Core Processor.

Should I take this as a warning and look to replace the machine or just shrug my
shoulders & mutter something about cosmic rays ?

TIA
