On the motherboard ASUS V-PRO Z77 installed 2x2 (Kingston and Corsair) memory slots. All four slats of RAM do not cause any complaints. They work properly. But, below is the output of the result of running the dmidecode program and in the output I'm interested in the following lines:

Error Information Handle: 0x0060

Error Information Handle: 0x0063

What does it mean?

What are the reasons for these errors?

Unfortunately, I could not find information about this in Google.

$ sudo dmidecode --type 17
# dmidecode 2.12
# SMBIOS entry point at 0x000f04c0
SMBIOS 2.7 present.

I don't think your parsing the info from dmidecode in the way it was intended. What I see here is that your Kingston modules are error correcting while your Corsair modules are not.

To the best of my knowledge, The Error Information Handle is a handle, not an error.

I haven't reviewed the specs on your ASUS V-PRO Z77 but as a rule of thumb, I would never mix ECC and non-ECC modules in the same build. AFAIK, it's not usually a supported configuration. Furthermore, don't blindly trust the output of dmidecode as it does not scan your hardware, it only reports what the BIOS told it to.
