I received a lots of replies suggesting that I should replace the DIMM because my server have a memory problem
Roy Culley sent me a completed explication wich is the following :
"It looks like you have a memory problem. ECC, error checking and
correction, are extra bits used to check that the memory data is
ok and if not correct the faulty bits (normally only 1 bit can be
corrected). So in your case bit 15 of Memory Module DIMM1 id 31
is duff. I suggest you replace this DIMM."
Thanks again!
