I have an issue that server crashes randomly every once in a while showing the following message:
<UEFI0079: One or more uncorrectable Memory errors occurred in the previous boot.
Check the system Event log (SEL) To identify the non functional DIMM and then replace the DIMM.
UEFI0078: One or more Machine check errors occurred in the previous boot. 
Check the system Event log (SEL) To identify the source of the machine check error and resolve the issue.>

Then I would choose <F1: to continue and retry boot order> and it starts normally
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I check the event log I find the following errors:

WHEA-Logger Event ID: 18
A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core

WHEA-Logger Event ID: 46

Unfortunately I don't understand much from the debugging tool, I hope someone would help me to identify the issue and me fix it.

Thank you.

    Hello there, Have you made any hardware diagnostic for your servers? WHEA stands for Windows Hardware Error Architecture. Some of the main hardware problems which cause machine check exceptions include: System bus errors (error communicating between the processor and the motherboard) Memory errors that may include parity and error correction code (ECC) problems. Error checking ensures that data is stored correctly in the RAM; if information is corrupted, then random errors occur. Cache errors in the processor; the cache stores important data and code. If this is corrupted, errors often occur. Detailed description here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-fix-whea-uncorrectable-error-7c49d78a-2792-96cf-2268-abbe9d9eb29f Hope this resolves your Query !! --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept it as an answer--
