Machine Check Exceptions (MCEs) report various
errors that are detected in various ways.

For RAM: check or error correction bits (extra
bits) are one way of of detecting RAM data
problems. (ECC is one form of error correction
bits.)

Without redundancy via the extra bits, MCE has
no source of information to report the specific
type of error for RAM and simply does not report
what is then not detected as a problem. In other
words: no machine check exception then happens.

See "Problem Types" in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

For a short mention of "Memory Errors" that mentions
how they are detected for Machine Check Exceptions.
