Abstract
Technologies are disclosed for identifying and remediating correctable hardware errors. A firmware can detect a system management interrupt ('SMI') generated by a hardware device responsive to the occurrence of a correctable error. Once the firmware has identified the device that generated the SMI, the firmware can determine whether an earliest recorded error generated by the identified device is longer ago than a threshold amount of time. If the earliest recorded error generated by the device is not longer ago than the threshold amount of time, the firmware can increment an error count for the device. The firmware can also determine whether the error count for the device exceeds a threshold. If the error count for the device exceeds the threshold, the firmware can generate an error notification for the device. The firmware can also implement a remedial action policy for the device.
