MCA Errors?

Hi,

since last 2 days I see sometimes in /var/log/messages entries like this

Code:

What problems does the server have?

Hardware error.

I suggest you post details of your hardware.

If you mean CPU - it is AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
It's a very old system that I want to renew this year, but not now

CPU or memory error - they look like they were correctable but if they just started recently it could be a sign of failures yet to come.

If you can afford the downtime, shut the machine down, confirm that your cables are seated and you don't have any dust accumulation/airflow issues, then run some CPU/memtest on it to see if it flinches under load.

If it does, then consider stepping up the renewal timeline. ;)
