Lenovo P1 Gen 6 - bios is limited to 64g not 96g
The lenovo P1 gen 6 as of Nov 2023 has a persistent bios issue when running 48g dimms in 48g or 96g configurations. every ~24h the machine will enter an unrecoverable ram check on reboot/sleep that is only fixed by replacing the ram with 32g or lower dimms. The fix is to limit the ram to 64g.
Make sure to get the 64G model - not the 96G one
