PCIe Bus Error – PCIe Bus Error Severity=Corrected

16.04

I have a new HP Pavilion Gaming Notebook and a new installation of Ubuntu 16.04. When I press Ctrl + Alt + F1 I go start seeing the errors shown in the following image and it doesn't allow me to interact with the console:

enter image description here

I also see these errors for a while everytime I boot. I need to do Ctrl + Alt + F1 to access a non graphical terminal to install some Nvidia drivers. What's going on?

What's causing the problem seems to be:

Best Answer

Try this,

Use this link ( about the adding paramter to kernel here) to understand about adding kernel boot paramter temporarily and making it permanent. Then,

Add the parameter , pci=nomsi

And reboot.

If the problem is solved then make the change permanent. If does not work then try,

pci=noaer

same way and make it permanent if this works.

(*Reason for appearance is related to the recent Intel Skylake architecture CPUs and Realtek rtl8723be wireless adaptor.

The ubuntu team knows about it. Read more here Bug_track_ubuntu_PCIe bus error )
