You probably have been for ages, it's just that nothing was checking them until you enabled the EDAC module. You may be experiencing dataloss, so you should really check this out.

  • Your PCI device is broken by design (add it to the blacklist), and reports parity errors, when none occur
  • Your PCI device is faulty
  • Your Motherboard is faulty (try moving device to another PCI slot)
  • Bad connection caused by dirty connectors - see HowToCleanEdgeConnectors
  • Your power supply is faulty/underspeced
  • The electrical supply is faulty (e.g. transiant spikes / droops)
  • Other electrical noise (either from inside, or outside the system) is causing the problems

Please expand on this and add links!
