6.2.2 Machine Check Record (MCH)

This record contains information regarding failures such as
processor failure, storage failure, storage key failure or
timing facility failure.

Whenever a machine check interrupt occurs a record gets
written.  A machine check interrupt may occur if the problem
was recovered by the hardware or the software, the hardware
could not correct the problem and software recovery routines
were given control, or the problem resulted in the loss of
a processor.

The record types are 10 and 13.
