How to know which device is causing PCIe Bus Error severity=Corrected AER: Corrected error received

cn flag

I've begun noticing the /dev/mapper/data-root volume was 100% used
Then noticed logs kern.log and syslog were 95gb each

Then remembered about pci=noaer in the grub file
I've done that and seems to be solved, but

Is there any way to know which is de "faulty" device and why is causing that?
And finally, how to solve that error and solve the log filling without editing the grub file?

Here is my

It is whatever is in this port `00:1c.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #5 [8086:a294] (rev f0)` that is failing. I would recommend removing hardware from the PCI ports and testing. It could be also a built in GPU error, or a motherboard error. Either would need to be replaced if you are still getting the error after stripping down the motherboard of added hardware. There really isn't a lot of info out there about this device: https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:8086-a294-1462-7a90

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
