Abstract
A computing system can include a platform firmware to monitor hardware errors and to notify an operating system when a corrective action is to be performed to address a hardware error. The computing system can also include an extended error log to describe a hardware error. The computing system can further include an action record to direct the operating system to perform the corrective action to address the hardware error.
