I am receiving tons of notifications about Machine Check Event errors having occurred and needing to be investigated / fixed. When I visit the Fix Common Problems plugin as the notification suggests I have:

Machine Check Events detected on your server    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 had installed mcelog via NerdPack a few days prior when I last received this message but am finding no indication of where the log is. I have checked in `/var/log/` for an mce.log (or similar file) but none exists. In `/var/log/syslog` I have the following entries:

Sep 11 22:58:03 media crond[1967]: exit status 1 from user root /usr/local/sbin/mover &> /dev/null
Sep 11 23:25:55 media kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
Sep 11 23:47:01 media root: Fix Common Problems Version 2018.09.08
Sep 11 23:47:05 media root: Fix Common Problems: Error: Machine Check Events detected on your server

If I execute `mcelog` as root I receive:

|-[07:23:34]-> mcelog
mcelog: Cannot open `/dev/mcelog': No such file or directory

Any pointers on what I need to do to find out what is wrong with my system?

 

Attached screenshots of all the above in case a setting or something could be the issue.

 

 

Is anyone familiar with these Machine Check Events, how to find out what the actual problem is, and how to deal with them?

 

You should post your diagnostics after the next issuance of the error.  While mcelog might not get installed soon enough for it to capture the actual error, there will still be some clues in the syslog
