I've been using this
motherboard with an Intel Xeon E5-2630-V3 in our office server for about 2 months
now. About a week or so ago we started getting MCE (Machine Check Errors) in the
syslog as unRAID (Linux) was booting up. Nearly immediately and reliably, the Virtual machines (win10pro64) would crash the entire server while running. After pulling the
entire machine apart and trying all parts (including the CPU) in another
(personal) machine I was unable to reproduce the errors outside of this
motherboard. After rebuilding the server using this motherboard I am still receiving
the MCEs during boot, though now the VMs do not seem to crash. I am fairly confident
due 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 visible
issues. I have tried changing setting in BIOS to try and isolate and disable
the issue to no avail. The mcelog (logged below) denotes the error as being
related to the cpu cache, but I'm of the thinking that it has more to do with
how the MB communicates with those banks, than some issue with the cpu itself. As we are a small school office and
really can't afford to have the server down at this point, I'm hoping (grasping
at straws) that there is someone out there that might have another suggestion
or experience in this matter, aside from sending it in for repair/replacement. We are completely open to any and all suggestions.

What BIOS version are you running? I am going to guess version 3.0 or greater?

![]() For posterity's sake, I'll give the run down. 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 ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by ryoko227 - 21 Jun 2016 at 3:49pm |
