OK, I've upgraded my bios and it didn't help. I get the same gpf and
oops, only at slightly different addresses. I also fired off an email
to TMC tech support asking about this issue. I'm also patching from
2.1.127 to 2.1.129 to see what difference that makes, although I doubt
it will help. I'll report back when I've got results. I hope this
issue is of interest to someone.

BTW, I checked the BIOS and bios shadowing is disabled. The only thing
I had shadowed was video. Changing that to disabled didn't help either.
