Abstract
Disclosed is a system for handling errors. A system managed by a processor processes an error in the system. The system then generates an interrupt to the processor indicating that an error occurred and executes an error mode before the processor interprets the interrupt. As part of the error mode, the system prevents data from transferring between the system and the processor and processes a read request from the processor to the system by returning data to the processor unrelated to the requested data. The processor would then process the interrupt indicating the error and execute a diagnostic mode to diagnose the error in the system.
