Do you know what this message actually means?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It basically means memory error checking on a memory module along with a parity checking bit. It is calculated when one byte of memory is written and then again when it is read. If the parity has changed, then the memory has been changed. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Since you have a correctable error, it shouldn't be any problem with the memory module. Also, you can blacklist the edac module, afaik and let the BIOS do the error detection and correction.</div><div>
