"Squirrels ate my powerline!"
No, really. Not sure if this was the cause of the error message, but yesterday our voltage started dropping intermittently. Fans turned slower, lights dimmed, but computers seemed to continue working fine, which I admit surprised me, as the voltage drops must have been significant. Finally got the power company out last night and they replaced a foot and a half of chewed up cable from where the house line connects to the street supply (using a cherry picker in the dark - no thanks). Fixed the dimming problem, but also when I rebooted the computer (I shut everything down when they started working on it) the error message did not appear.
Fingers crossed.
