An information processing apparatus includes a nonvolatile memory area having a storage area, and a main controller configured to store an access pattern to a main memory in the nonvolatile memory area, to end the storage of the access pattern when an error is detected in the main memory, and to access the main memory based on the access pattern stored in the nonvolatile memory area. The main controller includes a main memory control unit configured to access the main memory based on the access pattern; a nonvolatile memory control unit configured to store a data of the access pattern in the nonvolatile memory area; and a main control unit configured to transfer the access pattern for the main memory to the main memory control unit and the nonvolatile memory control unit.
