Hello,
according other forums it occurs if you do not have motherborad/chipset drivers updated.
My sugestion is to check available drivers from HP site as well patches from Microsoft.

Hello Subash,

you could verify the blades own log (FPL, SEL) and see if there is any event in it that has a level of 3 or higher. That would indicate a potential H/W issue on the server blade.

If you installed the HP management agents, than those files are even available on the servers filesystem.

The message in the Windows log seems to indicate it concerns correctable errors but the FPL might provide you where they come from (i.e. memory, cpu ...) .

As i mentioned, you should collect OS and H/W log files and let them analyse to see where the correctable error comes from.

Correctable errors are normal to occur and as long as they are below the thresholds defined for that particular component ( i.e. memory, cpu, cache , disks etc etc) there is no issue. Once the correctable errors rise above the threshold, a pre-failure warning will be logged and then that component might need replacement.
