Just a warning about Intel's 6th gen, still afflicted by WHEA errors even
with the latest 0039 BIOS -- Intel is at last becoming more forthright
about the problem now under public pressure -- posting a real update today,
and promising a follow-up by April 15:
http://nucblog.net/2016/04/skylake-i3-and-i5-nuc-whea-errors/

And for the sky-is-falling tabloids & Cassandras, here's the money headline:

"It seems that if your NUC exhibits these problems (frequent crashes with
WHEA errors) it has already reached the point of no return. In that case
you need to return the NUC to Intel for repair."
