6000000 advanced error reporting （PCI error） windows event log which occupied all the memory of C disk

Question

PCI log continue generate and occupy 1 g each day.

Answer 1

Hello

It seems you are experiencing an issue with the PCI error log occupying all the memory of your C disk, which is a serious concern as it can affect the performance and stability of your system. The logs are continuously growing, consuming about 1GB of memory each day. This could be related to correctable memory errors or other hardware issues that need to be addressed promptly.

 

To resolve this issue, you might need to:

 

Check for any correctable memory errors and address them. The system might be trying to swap affected pages, which requires pausing the VM and removing any directly assigned functions to ensure virtual processors and devices are not accessing the affected pages while the swap is in progress.

 

Review the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) for error reporting and handling. It's a central point for hardware error reporting in Windows and is involved in paths that span several components of Windows.

 

Investigate the possibility of a hardware failure, such as a machine check or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), which could be causing the system to log these errors.

 

Consider running system diagnostics to confirm that the system memory and other hardware components aren't defective.
