Machine Check Events Error


Recommended Posts

Fix Common Problems is reporting a Machine Check Events error with the following fix

 

Your server has detected hardware errors. You should install mcelog via the NerdPack plugin, post your diagnostics and ask for assistance on the unRaid forums. The output of mcelog (if installed) has been logged

 

I turned on the mcelog in Nerdpack but where do I find the diagnostics file to post?

This came up for me the other day, here's a post with all the various ways.

 

I used - http://<Insert IP Address>/log/syslog

 

Replace the <Insert IP Address> with your respective server.  You can use Tower if that works for you in general.

That is for V5 and we really, really wish you would not use those methods for V6 because V6 provides much more information for us if you give us the Diagnostics (which includes syslogs). If we want just a syslog we will ask for it.

Hi Guys,

 

I also received the message "Your server has detected hardware errors. You should install mcelog via the NerdPack plugin, post your diagnostics and ask for assistance on the unRaid forums. The output of mcelog (if installed) has been logged"

 

So I upload my diagnostics here. Hopefully someone can help me to troubleshoot. Also in my unraid log I see errors about failure ram. I use ECC ram so it will repare but I need to find the bad modules.

Certain combinations of cpus / motherboards / poltergeists deciding to just hang out issue an MCE when initializing the processor during boot up.  This is what's happening to you, and is normal (assuming the poltergeists weren't involved) and can be safely ignored.

Now I’m wondering why it rebooted and started a parity check. What caused the shutdown!?

Also, while it's not necessarily your problem, but the utmost in stability in any computer system comes when using matching memory sticks (which you're not).

 

If you do have to mix and match between manufacturers (which you are), then try and ensure that the CL spec on them match (which yours don't). 

 

It's not a given, but it is a distinct possibility.

Gotcha. Much of this machine was given to me. I’ll order another stick of the same to replace the one I received with it.

Just rebooted at random again. Any thoughts on where I should start to look for what the issues is?

No thoughts that it might by my HBA?

Bad memory.  The system event log in the BIOS would hopefully provide a little more insight to which DIMM is starting to go, besides Channel 1, Dimm 0
