After having had no issues for so long, updating the BIOS never even entered into my mind as being a possible fix. However, the motherboard was running 1.9 so I figured being out of other options I would try flashing it based off your question; entirely certain that it wouldn't fix the issue <img src="https://forum.asrock.com/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" alt="T&#111;ngue" title="T&#111;ngue" />. Turned on all my virtualization options after a successful BIOS update, and she came up with no MCEs. Shocked, grateful, and elated; I wearily brought up the VMs. Again with no MCEs.</div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://forum.asrock.com/smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" alt="Clap" title="Clap" />&nbsp;Bravo sir, bravo. <b>Thank you</b>!!!!!&nbsp;<img src="https://forum.asrock.com/smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" alt="Clap" title="Clap" /><br></div><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by ryoko227 - 21 Jun 2016 at 3:49pm</span>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://forum.asrock.com/member_profile.asp?PF=3241">ryoko227</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 2887<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 21 Jun 2016 at 10:04am<br /><br /><div><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; -: initial; -attachment: initial; -size: initial; -origin: initial; -clip: initial; -: initial; -repeat: initial;">I've been using thismotherboard with an Intel Xeon E5-2630-V3 in our office server for about 2 monthsnow. About a week or so ago we started getting MCE (Machine Check Errors) in thesyslog as unRAID (Linux) was booting up. Nearly immediately and reliably, the Virtual machines (win10pro64) would crash the entire server while running. After pulling theentire machine apart and trying all parts (including the CPU) in another(personal) machine I was unable to reproduce the errors outside of thismotherboard. After rebuilding the server using this motherboard I am still receivingthe MCEs during boot, though now the VMs do not seem to crash. I am fairly confidentdue to the above troubleshooting that there is a physical issue with the MB itself.I have of course physically examined the motherboard and socket, but have found no visibleissues. I have tried changing setting in BIOS to try and isolate and disablethe issue to no avail. The mcelog (logged below) denotes the error as beingrelated to the cpu cache, but I'm of the thinking that it has more to do withhow the MB communicates with those banks, than some issue with the cpu itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; -: initial; -attachment: initial; -size: initial; -origin: initial; -clip: initial; -: initial; -repeat: initial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; -: initial; -attachment: initial; -size: initial; -origin: initial; -clip: initial; -: initial; -repeat: initial;">As we are a small school office andreally can't afford to have the server down at this point, I'm hoping (graspingat straws) that there is someone out there that might have another suggestionor experience in this matter, aside from sending it in for repair/replacement. We are completely open to any and all suggestions.&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><table width="99%"><tr><td><pre class="BBcode"></div><div>~# mcelog</div><div>Hardware event.
