Hardware error on boot using new hardware

Hey Guys,

I’m getting the following messages every time I boot my Pc. It doesn’t seem to impact anything, but it worries me nonetheless. I just bought the cpu and motherboard, so I don’t think that it is actually damaged hardware. Does someone know how to fix this?

My specs

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.11.6-1-MANJARO
OS Type: 64-bit
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz
Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2

if same result with boot on USB iso live manjaro ?
it come from microcode

  1. Please read this:
    How to provide good information
    and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…

  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

  4. It looks like one of your RAM chips has failed / is failing / is about to fail. Have you done a memtest from grub yet?

Ok, here is the ouput of inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width:

No, how do I do this? Simply boot into grub, go to the console and enter memtest?

Edit: Ok so I read through a view posts and it seems like I can’t really use it since I have an UEFI and can’t go into a bios mode :confused:

Sorry, the messages are shown at boot so I figured posting an image is my best option since I can’t copy-paste the messages. I would edit my question, but I can’t find a way to do so :thinking:

Before you try anything else, upgrade to Kernel 5.10 LTS and see if the hardware error goes away (that’s an easy check)

If it remains:

  • Remove DIMM from bank 6 and reboot.
  • Does the hardware error go away?
    • If yes: Replace that DIMM
    • If no: what’s the new hardware error?

All the other stuff looks OK, except this:

So read this: Swap - Manjaro

sudo journalctl --system --priority=1 | grep --ignore-case hardware

:grin:

I see there are BIOS updates too for this motherboard, It could be worth a try to update it (at your own risk of course). Switching kernel to 5.10 LTS could be a proper easier solution too.

I am getting the same error , I just got a new board , a intel z590 ( asrock entreme 590) that is when The error started . At 1st I thought to try different memory kits , reseat the GPU card , reseat the CPU .
Tried every bios setting under the sun . I also get with memtest " Internal error line 169 test C

nope not a memory issue the fact that we both have Asrock Z590 boards and both have the exact same problem , indicates to me some kind of bios, firmware issue

also not a bios update issue as I am running the latest 1.4

say what cpu are you using a rocket lake or comet lake ? Me I am using a 10600kf just wondering if it is because of not running a rocket lake and the kernal is seeing things being disabled

ok the problem is with the Asrock Z590 , I just swapped back to my MSI b460 Tomahawk and all those error messages went bye bye . I am sending My Asrock Z590 Extreme back to new egg , swapping it out for a MSI Z590 Torpedo

I will update when I get the board to see if messages return

I am not sure if I found THE solution , why do I say this ? Because I am moving to a different chipset , a b460 chipset and the problem went away . was it the chipset or the motherboard that caused the issue ?
Did Asrock produce a buggy board or is it something in the Intel Z590 chipset ?
is it that manjaro Just cant deal with a Z590 chipset ?
I will have a definite answer to that question soon as I have a new MSI Z590 en route to try out

:man_shrugging:

I got the MSI Z590 installed with a fresh install of Manjaro , switched to the latest Kernel . 5.11 and the problem returns , not asrocks problem . I suspect it is a problem either with the Intel ME firmware or Manjaros’ kernel not seeing something … Not that I am complaining , it just too new cutting edge hardware . I am suprised that the B460 chipset worked so well

Maybe it is a kernel or BIOS issue.

I had also a similar problem with different messages after updating my BIOS once and I had to disable IOMMU in BIOS to get rid of the message on boot. It took three consecutive BIOS updates for that to eventually being fixed. Maybe it is a not so serious issue that will get fixed in later BIOS check you manufacturer for new BIOS in the future.

ok problem is solved for me , MSI just released a cpu microcode update in a beta bios , I suspect Asrock needs to do the same .
Flashed to the latest bios and poof all gone :slight_smile:
