I don't buy your idea about photon emissions because ECC checks are always
directly correlated with "TSUNAMI machine checks". Assuming it is a faulty
memory module, is it possible to identify which one. Maybe by performing
tasks from the SRM?

Attribute that to increased photon emissions or something.
The machine check errors have been discussed at length several
times - browse around http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/axp-list to
get the full story.
