A Machine Check Abort event means the hardware detected a critical error. This event is generated
whenever a system error due to processor, firmware, hardware and operating system is encountered.
MCA events may be either recoverable or non-recoverable. If it is recoverable, the system will
attempt to recover from the error for the purpose of maintaining high availability. An example of
which is automatic disabling of a failing processor. For non-recoverable errors, the system will
either stop or reboot to prevent data corruption and unreliable operation
