I'm not sure if these two items are correlated, but I just woke up to a MCE error in fix common problems, and also a disabled parity drive due to read errors.

 

I was having read errors with multiple drives a couple weeks back, so I did extensive RAM testing, but it ended up being resolved (I think?) by moving my HDD sata power plugs to a different PSU rail. Now this single drive comes comes back with more errors (the system disabled it).

Any ideas?

Any suggestions?

The MCE appears to be CPU related, for the disk errors please post the complete diagnostics after some errors.

Thank you for the response. Would you suggest I test for CPU failure?

 

I've attached a zip of the full diagnostics (which was downloaded at the same time as the previously attached syslog file).

Stop overclocking RAM, it's a known issue with Ryzen, if it doesn't help try with a new CPU if possible.

 

Disk errors look more like a power/connection problem, replace both cables for that disk.

I disabled the RAM overclocking, but unfortunately I'm still receiving the 'Machine Check Events' error (most recent diag attache). Unfortunately I don't have a second CPU on hand to try, so you have any suggestions on how I can test the health of this CPU?

 

As for the disk errors (for anyone else seeing this problem)- I resolved this with a new PSU. Apparently my previous PSU had one of it's rails failing.

Not really, best bet would be using a different one, also look for a BIOS update but that shouldn't do much for this.

Unfortunately BIOS is already up to date, but I did have this error popup in my log. Think it's related?

Possibly.

Just to provide an update on this problem- it ended up being a faulty CPU as JorgeB suggested.

 

I successfully RMA'd my 5950x a few weeks back (meaning it failed their testing), and I haven't seen the errors since installing the replacement CPU.
