    NMI Watchdog

    Hello,

    I have been looking all over the internet to find out what the "NMI watchdog" does and if it is really needed.

    Can anyone help me out? How is the NMI watchdog of use? Is it bad to disable it?

    Thanks,

    Nate

    If you haven't already seen it, here's an article on NMIs that might help:
