The system event log in the BIOS will hopefully identify the stick further

How critical is this error? Is this "the machine may crash and burn at any moment" critical, or "You need to replace that RAM stick before further issues arise" type critical?

It will probably not burn down the house, but you might experience data or FS corruption, system crash, etc.

Thank you so much for  your help

My opinion:

 

Presumably, you bought ECC memory so that once errors started occurring you would replace the stick(s).  While the errors are being corrected now (due to the ECC), at some point (maybe never) the sticks won't be able to correct the error.  At that point many systems will simply completely stop all execution of everything (making it appear to be a hard lockup) which is a pain to diagnose unless you think to go into the System EVent Log to see what happened.

 

Or to put another way, why did you buy ECC memory in the first place?
