In the x64 architecture, the Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) holds pointers to code that handles specific events (interrupts and exceptions).
On x64 (and x86) architectures, is the Machine Check Exception (MCE) . It is a hardware-initiated exception that indicates the CPU has detected an internal hardware error (e.g., cache errors, bus errors, memory errors, or uncorrectable ECC errors). x64 exception type 0x12 machinecheck exception link
Bit-flips in RAM (often detected by ECC memory but fatal on non-ECC sticks) will trigger an MCE if the CPU receives corrupted data. In the x64 architecture, the Interrupt Descriptor Table
