Abstract
In an information handling system, when a memory location is accessed and there is a bit error detected in that memory location then the memory location is logged into an error-log. The memory locations of the logged bit errors stored in the error-log are evaluated to determine whether there is one or more bit errors in a particular memory range, e.g., a contiguous range of memory locations. If there is one or more bit errors in a memory range, then that memory range may be hot ejected, e.g., disabled from use by the operating system. The bit error may be single bit error and/or multiple bit errors of a memory location.
