Various repair actions may be associated based on a probabilistic model. Additional information may be utilized to modify or improve respective probabilities associated with causes and / or repair actions. This additional information may utilize other automated diagnostic information or may query users for additional information.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an approach for monitoring the health and predicting the failure of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) devices with embedded error-correcting code (ECC). Additional registers are embedded on the DRAM device to store information about the DRAM, such as the number and location of soft errors detected by the device. When the DRAM device detects a soft error, it will update the information stored in the additional registers. A controller compares the information stored in the additional registers to associated thresholds. In some embodiments, after comparing the information to the associated thresholds, the controller may determine whether to schedule a repair action. In other embodiments, the controller may determine whether to alert the memory controller that the DRAM may be failing.
