false it ALWAYS causes the system to halt
A parity error always causes the system to hault. On the screen, you see the error message parity error 1 (parity error on the motherboard) or parity error 2 (parity error on an expansion card)

A parity error always causes the system to halt.
The main causes of parity error are magnetic or electrostatic conditions. This will result mainly into corruption of the computer memory chips.
an NMI error
A parity error always causes a non-maskable interrupt. It doesn't make sense to mask a parity interrupt because if you get parity errors it's not very smart to ignore it. What the effect is depends on the operating system. Usually the NMI jumps to a predefined mem location in the OS and executes whatever the designers put there. Jan Didden
parity error
A special system of multiple parity bits (e.g. Hamming parity) that allows not only error detection but limited error correction.Ordinary single bit parity can detect reliably single bit errors.Hamming parity can correct single bit errors and detect reliably double bit errors.
Parity error indicates bad memory. Parity checks compare the memory read with what was writen.

Parity errors in memory are detected using a simple error-checking mechanism that involves an additional bit known as the parity bit. This bit is added to a group of bits (like a byte) to ensure that the total number of 1s is either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). When data is read from memory, the system recalculates the parity and compares it to the stored parity bit; if there's a mismatch, a parity error is flagged, indicating that the data may be corrupted.
