    I am experimenting some error messages that are generated by our upgraded
    Celebris XL's 5133. Can yoy please debug the attached codes?
    
    Celebris XL 5133/256kb/16Mb/540MBscsi
    Bios 2.04
    S3928 or S3864
    DE203 NIC or DE405 NIC
    5 Pc's involved
    Windows 95 400.950.a / Service pack 1
    Office 95
    Internet explorer 3.01
    
            -DECPC xl 433 is upgraded to Celebris XL 5133
            -Before the upgrade no problems, after upgrade intermittent problems
    
            Problem description
    
            -Pc randomly pops of with the blue RIP screen during Internet
    	     use
            -Pc locks up totally while leaving the screen saver mode (The
             mouse pointer can still move at this stage, and resets ussually
             afetr a while by it self)
            -Pc intermittently resets without warning while working in 
             applications
    
     What I  have tried:
    
            - Replaced all hardware; no solution
            - Reload Win95, (reinstall, and installation from scratch);no
              solution
            - change BIOS setup;no solution
            - change network card DE205 for DE405; no solution
            - load the latest drivers for the VC and NIC; no solution
            - add additional 32mb memory; Pc is stable
    
    16Mb should be OK, what do you think?
    
    Also, hereafter the error message I occured sometimes.
    A fatal error exception 0E has occured at 0028:C0023D7E VFAT (01)+00004EEA
      Current application will be terminated
    
      <<< I press return >>>
    
      A fatal error exception 0D has occured at 16E7:17DF0909
      Current application will be terminated
    
      <<< I press return >>>
    
A fatal error exception 0D has occured at 16E7:01177554
      Current application will be terminated
    
      <<< I  press return >>>
    
      A fatal error exception 0E has occured at 0028:C028IA24 in VXD IFSMGR
    (03) + 00015704
      Current application will be terminated
    
      And after this the PC hang. The only way to restart the PC is to
      reboot it.

| Was this an CPU daughtercard only upgrade, or an upgrade as well of the Motherboard? Which is something which should have been the case. Pjotrr | |||||
