 Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2018 6:36 am Post subject: [Solved] MCE ECC error on the NB |
 |
|
while idle, the computer is not logging anything specific.
When under load, the computer logs the following on a regular basis:
| Code: | [173100.111033] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
[173100.111039] [Hardware Error]: Corrected error, no action required.
[173100.113189] [Hardware Error]: CPU:8 (15:1:2) MC4_STATUS[-|CE|MiscV|-|AddrV|-|CECC]: 0x9c67400040080a13
[173100.113449] [Hardware Error]: Error Addr: 0x00000008bfe59e80
[173100.113583] [Hardware Error]: MC4 Error (node 1): DRAM ECC error detected on the NB.
[173100.113874] EDAC MC1: 1 CE on mc#1csrow#1channel#1 (csrow:1 channel:1 page:0x8bfe59 offset:0xe80 grain:0 syndrome:0x40ce)
[173100.113875] [Hardware Error]: cache level: L3/GEN, mem/io: MEM, mem-tx: RD, part-proc: RES (no timeout)
|
this looks like a hardware error. Okay. But is it on DRAM or on L3 cache that the exception occurs?
If on DRAM: is bank 15 the defective dram slot? -> dram slot is on the 2nd cpu, cpu8 is on the first cpu :-/
If on CPU: I should replace CPU0 to replace the L3 cache, right?
thanks

I'm not an expert, but here are my recommendations:
1) Collect additional data. The statements below will help you:
| Code: | dmidecode --type memory
edac-util -v
|
Look at the number of corrected/uncorrected errors in the output of 'edac-util -v'.
- If all values are 0, your DIMMs are probably fine, but your CPU may have a problem.
- If you get nonzero values for one DIMM, it's probably the DIMM which is faulty.
- If you get nonzero values for multiple (or even all) DIMMs, either your mainboard or the memory controller may be faulty.
2) Look at the files in /sys/devices/system/edac/mc and subdirectories:
| Code: | cd /sys/devices/system/edac/mc
tree .
|
The files and their contents will give you additional information.
3) emerge memtest86 and/or memtest86+, boot one of those images and run the memory tests. But make sure to TURN OFF ECC in memtest86/memtest86+. Otherwise memory errors will be corrected and the programs won't show you errors.
4) If you replace the faulty DIMM: don't throw it away. Label it as faulty and keep it. You can use it to test whether ECC works on a machine. Sometimes developers ask for faulty DIMMs to test their hardware and software.
Good Luck! |

Hi Mike,
The DMIDECODE command does not show anything error-specific. Are you also using version 3.1?
anyway, the edac-util did:

linuxserver backup # edac-util -v

so this means the module at memory controller 1 (which is CPU 0, as bulldozer has 2 MCs on one CPU) on csrow 1 channel 1 is faulty. Right?
If so, I'll buy 2 new DDR3 modules (one in spare) and swap them.
Thank you for the information!
