Memtest86 and memtest86+ are not always that good at finding memory errors for some reason... Try a 24h/48h test over the weekend or something like that if you really want to be sure. > I am rather hesitant about updating the BIOS/UFEI.

An update, if any are available, would be found in the ASUSTEK support page for your motherboard. > Also, I'm rather hesitant about installing the amd64-package. If you never updated that BIOS/UEFI, chances are you are running very old microcode, which is known to be buggy, and unsupported. There is one extremely nasty VM security issue in that processor, as well as some isses that could result in data corruption in rare cases. They must be patched by the most recent AMD microcode update for correct system operation. The amd64-microcode packages do not make any permanent changes to the system, you can just remove them (and re-create the initramfs) if you want to. But it is up to you, really. Your system is clearly misbehaving (unless you like to power it off improperly or something, in which case the orphan inodes are *expected* and you should have told us that first thing :p). -- Henrique Holschuh
