Hi guys,
From a few days ago I am experimenting an MCE error.
Sometimes I turn on the computer and at some point while booting the
kernel (after the grub menu) just freezes and puts this:
CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 4: b200000000070f0f
TSC f5acc9180
PROCESSOR 2:20fc2 TIME 1427486735 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 0
the number for TSC may vary, but the b200000000070f0f it's always the
same (at least for now). The error message suggest to parse the above
error with mcelog. I did that and the result was:
Hardware event. This is not a software error.
CPU 0 4 northbridge TSC f5acc9180
TIME 1427486735 Fri Mar 27 17:05:35 2015
Northbridge Watchdog error
bit57 = processor context corrupt
bit61 = error uncorrected
bus error 'generic participation, request timed out
generic error mem transaction
generic access, level generic'
STATUS b200000000070f0f MCGSTATUS 4
CPUID Vendor AMD Family 15 Model 44
SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 0
The error suggest it's a hardware problem. I replace de RAM with no
luck. Same error keeps happening.
Any suggestion for identifying the problem or how to procede?
Many thanks in advance!
