mark, you are absolutely right :) Approximetely 1h ago errors appeared. They appeared only once since reboot, but they r back. Hi there :(
The good idea is that CPU numbers changed, so now we have cpu 1,2,3 and 18,19,20,21.We definetely moved "broken" modules to another slots.
Anyway bad dimm is really a good news for us instead of e.g. motherboard.
We are going to continue party this night or tomorrow morning, and determin which two modules are broken.
Is it possible to determine which physical dimms correspond to those cpus noticed in mce messagees? We have two rows of slots(6 slot for each row) one for cpu1 and second for cpu2. Used slots marked as cpu1-a1,cpu1-a2,cpu1-a3,cpu1-b1 and cpu2-a1,cpu2-a2,cpu2-a3,cpu2-b1.
I remeber that you adviced to divide cpu number on physical core count. We have 2 quad core proc, so 8 cpu. 1/8=0 Is it cpu-a1 slot or depends on situation? I hope we will find those bustards ourselvs but hint would be great.
And one more thing i cant funderstand ... if there is,say, 8 "cpu numbers" per each memory module(in our situation), why we see only 4 numbers and not 8 e.g. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ?

there will, I'll wager.

Here's a question out of left field: who was the manufacturer of the 4G
DIMMs? Not Supermicro, but the DIMMs themselves?
