Your probably right. I remember a CPU failure about 1yr ago and the system did crash ..
I was just reiterating what our sysadmin said.

Although, I will say that we were able to simply take the CPU offline
and get the machine up and restart the database. Total downtime was about 15 minutes
which is acceptable for us.

I don't think you can offline CPU's in Intel Linux servers?
