A couple of dmesg errors. Can you help me understand them?

I'm getting 4 errors like this one:

And one errors like this one:

EDAC amd64: This node reports that Memory ECC is currently disabled, set F3x44[22] (0000:00:18.3).
EDAC amd64: ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load.
 Either enable ECC checking or force module loading by setting 'ecc_enable_override'.
 (Note that use of the override may cause unknown side effects.)
amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22                     <--######################################

I've noticed no harmful side-effects (i'm on the system right now), but what do they mean?

Most likely your RAM isn't the ECC type which should be ok.

Oh ok, i see what you mean for the second error. Any idea what the first error relates to exactly?
