I run a Linux desktop with a Ryzen 5 5600x.
From time to time I get Hardware messages from the kernel indicating a Machine Check Error.
Has anyone knowledge of running rasdaemon to interpret these messages ?
It’s used for detecting hardware errors that are usually intransparent to the user but can provide further low-level diagnostics on hardware.
Most common things are memory error in the context of ECC memory or Advanced Error Reporting on the PCIe devices.
mcelog has quite the catalog on things going wrong. It’s entirely normal for a PC to have some errors…hardware having trouble with standards and spec, cable quality, buggy firmware…these kinds of things.
It’s usually fine. Unless you have a particular problem and want to look into machine check exceptions (MCE)
