August 27, 20214 yr FCP is telling me about a Hardware Problem I apparently have. I've attached Diagnostics as recommended, below. Can anyone help me and tell me if everything is about to die on me? No noticeable symptoms from the machine, other than being flagged for this error. Thank you unraid-diagnostics-20210827-1635.zip

August 29, 20214 yr Author 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? Thank you so much for your help

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?
