R730 Memory Uncorrectable Error
I have an R730 that is giving uncorrectable memory error limit exceeded errors on both ECC memory sticks. They are the OEM 32gig sticks recommended for this server. I have reseated them, tried them one at a time, and ran the detailed memory test multiple times. The memory test returns no memory errors every time it is ran. I have tried them one at a time in each slot, still get the error after a few hours. I have tested with Server 2016, Server 2019, ESXi with multiple VM's and Unraid, and I have never EVER had a system crash in over a year. My understanding is that if this error is real, the system would crash frequently. This doesnt sound like a memory error to me, more like a board error maybe?

Jquigley4,
The memory error exceeded is stating that due to excessive memory errors the limit has been exceeded and it will stop reporting them. So what I would suggest is that you update the server to current, clear the hardware log, then power up and see if it reports any dimm issues. If so then try swapping whichever dimm gives the error, with a matching dimm from within the server. Then you see if the error follows the dimm to the new slot location, or reports the error on the original slot, identifying what is actually causing the issue (slot or dimm).
Let me know if this helps, as well as what you see.
