You probably have a hardware problem with your RAM chips
this massage is appear twice after system hang
my question is how now which RAM chips that have problem ? how check about hardware?

Shalom,

The Linux distribution involved is not clear here.

Depending on the system type, you can boot into hardware diagnostic mode and check all hardware, including memory.

If you still have problems after upgrading the firmware I would recommend to run memtest86, http://www.memtest.org/
