WMIxWDM 106 "Machine Check Event reported is a corrected error"

[Thorsten Engler]

On a new dual Opteron system Windows 2003 starts giving this message every
few minutes. The first few times were during the setup already.

System: Tyan S2895, 2x AMD Opteron 246, 4x 512MB RAM (2 per CPU).

Main question is how does the information in the Data map to the MCE/MCA
registers (as defined in "
AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming, 9.3
Machine Check MSRs")?

Is there already a program available somewhere that can decode the Data (for
Opterons) into a human readable text? Otherwise I'll write one once I know
how that Data maps to anything that's specified somewhere.

Not here. This is a ffree group which is provided by Microsoft, but
most of those who are posting here regularely are volunteers, not paid
for this, so you can not expect a guarantee other that we try to do
our very best.

We are getting exactly the same errors on our S2895 based machine. Did
anyone find out what was causing the error? We suspect it's a CPU, but
are unsure.
