Hardware Diagnosis
Hello everyone,

I'm having an odd problem I've never encountered before and I'm at the point where the only things I have not replaced are the CPUs, Motherboard and Power Supply.

The errors:
Code:
[17100.704058] [Hardware Error]: CPU:0	MC4_STATUS[Over|CE|MiscV|-|AddrV|CECC]: 0xdc2b400013080a13
[17100.704069] [Hardware Error]: 	MC4_ADDR: 0x0000000001017d80
[17100.704071] [Hardware Error]: Northbridge Error (node 0): DRAM ECC error detected on the NB.
[17100.704075] [Hardware Error]: cache level: L3/GEN, mem/io: MEM, mem-tx: RD, part-proc: RES (no timeout)

This is the Slackware64 14.0 version of the errors. I get thousands of these and you can set your NTP by them. The first one is ALWAYS at 300 seconds after boot. I don't know if this pattern indicates anything.

The build:
2x AMD Opteron 2435
8x HP DDR2 400 (first RAM installed)
4x Hynix DDR2 400 (mobo. mfg. recommended)
SuperMicro H8DAE-2
OCZ Petrol 128G SSD
Enermax NAXN 750AWT
Slackware64 13.37 recently updated to 14. I tried CentOS live as well as Knoppix live and I get the same type of symptoms.

Everything is new except the RAM. I had 1 CPU installed and I tried everything I could to get the HP memory working. The Motherboard mfgr. said the RAM was not supported and "too slow because it's CAS 3". So I bought some of their recommended RAM which was only different in Tras and Trc by 1 CLK. This didn't fix anything.

Can someone with more experience solving this type of issue give me some assistance resolving this issue?

If I try one DIMM at a time with any of the RAM, I don't get any errors. I've done all the test I can think of and I will redo them if requested.

Here is the pattern:
