Systems and methods for preventing system crashes due to memory link failure in memory mirroring mode in an information handling system (IHS). The IHS may include a first memory device, a second memory device, and an integrated memory controller (IMC). The IMC may issue write transactions to both the first and second memory devices and issue read transactions to the first memory device when the IMC is in memory mirroring mode. The IMC may transmit a system management interrupt (SMI) with an IMC error to a basic input/output system (BIOS) when a persistent uncorrected IMC error is detected within the first memory device. The BIOS may perform a memory mirror failover process that may cause the IMC to issue the write transactions and the read transactions to the second memory device when the IMC error is a fatal memory link error.
