3811.0. "upgraded Celebris XL's 5133" by DECBAH::SYSTEM () Tue Apr 29 1997 17:31

    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.
