For some time we have lots of MCE in mcelog and we cant find out the reason.
The only thing that shows there (when it shows, since sometimes it doesn't seem to) is a hardware error. You *WILL* be replacing hardware, sometime soon, like yesterday.

Now we are just waiting will there be errors again.
I'm sure there will. Reseating the memory may have done something, but there will, I'll wager.
mark, you are absolutely right :) Approximetely 1h ago errors appeared. They appeared only once since reboot, but they r back. Hi there :(
The good idea is that CPU numbers changed, so now we have cpu 1,2,3 and 18,19,20,21.We definetely moved "broken" modules to another slots. Anyway bad dimm is really a good news for us instead of e.g.
motherboard.

I'm now confused about a lot: originally, you mentioned 53 - 57, was it? That doesn't add up, since you say you have 2 quad core processors, for a total of 8 cpus, and each of those processors have 6 banks, which would mean each processor should only see six (directly). Where I'm confused is how you could have cores 32-35, or 53-whatsit, when you only have 8 cores in two processors.
2 cpu each 8 cores and HT support. So 16 at max i think. for such way is it ok? I really lost the idea line with those cpu to memory bank mappings...
Here's a question out of left field: who was the manufacturer of the 4G DIMMs? Not Supermicro, but the DIMMs themselves?
This is Kingston KVR1333D3D4R9S/4G if i got the question
Oh, ok. I was wondering if they were Hynix - I've seen a good number of bad 4G and 8G DIMMs from them recently, and that across three different OEMs and model DIMMs.
