Abstract
An aspect includes a method for auto-disabling dynamic random access memory (DRAM) error checking based on a threshold. A method includes receiving data at a DRAM from a memory controller and executing error checking logic based on the data. The error checking logic detects an error condition in the data and it is determined, at the DRAM, whether detecting the error condition in the data causes an error threshold to be reached. The error checking logic is disabled at the DRAM in response to determining that detecting the error condition in the data causes the error the error threshold to be reached. The error condition is communicated to the memory controller in response to determining that detecting the error condition does not cause the error threshold to be reached.
