Hi!
Yesterday one of our servers had this on the console:
[ 1184.087973] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 4 Ban=
k 8: ba000000000000b2[ 1184.087973] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 3a3965b65c0 =

301538 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 2[ 1184.087973] mce: [Hardware Error]: Mac=
hine check: Processor context corrupt
So I did some research and found out that I can use an app named mcelog to =
decode this. =C2=A0This was the output from it:
Hardware event. This is not a software error.CPU 0 BANK 8 TSC 3a3965b65c0=

So my question now, for those who know more about this area than I, is: =C2=
=A0Is the exception due to a problem in the CPU itself or somewhere on the =
motherboard?
Regards.
