| 词条 | Machine-check exception |
| 释义 |
A machine-check exception (MCE) is a type of computer hardware error that occurs when a computer's central processing unit detects an unrecoverable hardware error in the processor itself, the memory, the i/o devices or on the system bus. It is not caused by software. The error usually occurs due to component failure or the overheating or overclocking of hardware components. Most machine check exceptions halt the operating system and require a restart before users can continue normal operation. Diagnosing the failure can be difficult because so little information about what caused the problem is captured. Modern versions of Microsoft Windows on IA-32 and x86-64 processors handle machine check exceptions through the Windows Hardware Error Architecture. When WHEA detects a machine check exception, it displays the error in a Blue Screen of Death, with the following parameters (which vary, but the first parameter is always 0x0 for a machine check exception):[1] Older versions of Windows handle similar exceptions through the Machine Check Architecture. In this case the Blue Screen of Death will show an error similar to the following:[2] On Linux, a process (such as '''CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004 Bank 2: f200200000000863 Kernel panic: CPU context corrupt''' Problem typesMost of these errors relate specifically to the Pentium processor family. Similar errors may occur on other processors and will cause similar problems. Some of the main hardware problems that cause MCEs include:
Possible causesMachine checks are a hardware problem, not a software problem. They're often the result of the overclocking or overheating, causing errors, or hitting a thermal limit where the CPU must shut itself down to avoid permanent damage. But they can also be caused by bus errors introduced by other failing components, including memory, i/o devices and i/o controllers. Possible causes include:
Cooling problems are usually obvious upon inspection. A failing motherboard or processor can be identified by swapping-in known-good parts. Memory can be checked by booting to a diagnostic tool, e.g., on Windows with the Windows Memory Diagnostic utility. Non-essential failing i/o controllers and devices can be identified by unplugging them if possible or disabling the devices and drivers to see if the problem disappears. If the failures typically only occur fairly soon after the OS is booted or not at all or not for days, that may be suggestive of a power supply problem, the failure occurring when power demand peaks as the OS wakes up any physical drives and other devices. Decoding MCEsAs noted previously, decoding MCE errors can prove difficult. Normally the manufacturer (especially processor manufacturers) will be able to provide information about specific codes. For IA-32 and Intel 64 processors, consult the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual[4] Chapter 15 (Machine-Check Architecture), or the Microsoft KB Article on Windows Exceptions.[5] Programs to decode Intel and AMD MCEs
