Cross posted in Windows-nt on Decwet Topic 5724
Hi,
Can anyone out there help us. We have the following scenario:-
Hardware: Alphastation 600
128 meg (64 meg in 2 Banks)
ZLXP-L1 graphics controller
Storage on the standard I/O card.
ARC V4.49
Software: Windows NT V.4.0 & Service pack 2
Windows 3D Image ?
Problem: Windows NT freezes and can is cleared by power cycle.
Customer has 3 of the above systems identically
configured. Only one has the problem. It started since
the system was upgraded to V4.0. The failing system was
upgraded and run without service pack 2 for two weeks.
The good systems were upgraded and the service pack
installed at the same time.
On the face of it, it appears to be a hardware problem
and the system module was changed to no avail.
Does anyone know of a technique or tool that will better help us
understand or assist in deciding if it hardware or software and
if it decided it is hardware, identifying a failing area, i.e. cache,
memory, io etc.
thanks in anticipation
Steve Bevis

If you don't you will have intermitent crashes and hangs!!

| 1864.3 | Possibly Memory errors? | WRKSYS::MURRAY | | Tue Feb 25 1997 09:29 | 3 |
| Historically NT has not handled memory ECC errors well. Maybe you have some
intermittant ECC problem that occurs during a vunerable window.
Are there any previous ECC problems?
