The wierd part it that is seems to be reporting a different error every
time it reboots. Make is hard is discern a pattern.

There's likely to be more than one CPU. The CPU responsible for overall

Power usage is always has to be minimized in these kinds of boxes as is
space utilization. You probably would not recognize the motherboard as
such. There's a basic overview at:

I'm sure a bit of web searching will find more details.
