Check these 2 options in the AMI Bios :
Advanced Chipset Control > Northbridge Set IOMMU MODE to 1 GB (unless you have an agp videocard in this system, then it should be set to "AGP present" )
Processor & Clock Options Set Secure Virtual Machine Mode to Enabled
Without those settings in my experience linux 64-bit kernel is very unreliable on this system. With those settings it's been running rock steady for 7 years now. (it's my main workstation pc ).

Got both set, thanks! I think there is something funny with the arch install iso. For some reason, I'm getting a failure waiting on the install to be mounted at /run/archiso/bootmnt
The strange things is it says:
Waiting 30 seconds.... Error: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201603' device did not show up after 30 seconds.
WTF?? 201603, this is the 201610 install medial
Sure enough
# ls -al /dev/disk/by-label
ARCHISO_EFI -> ../../sdb2 ARCH_201610 -> ../../sdb1
Why the hell is it trying to mount 'ARCH_201603' when 'ARCH_201610' is the actual label? I can manually mount /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201610 to /run/archiso/bootmnt but I don't know how to make the install continue from that point??
This was with the USB installer. Funny, the arch iso from both 20160903 and 20161001 both fail looking for the 'ARCH_201603' (this was a fresh USB drive too, no prior iso on it)
"get a rope... somebody done screwed something up..."
You could try to inspect the boot entry. If I recall correctly the install iso uses grub so you can check and edit the entry before booting. If indeed the boot entries are not correct then you should file a bug report. -- Mauro Santos
