I have an DEC 3000-300 V3.2C system that keeps crashing over night when no one
is on it with the following info. Has anyone else seen a problem like this?
When it says 'Hardware error' can anyone tell me what hardware it is talking
about?

Excerpt from error log:
                                                  uerf version 4.2-011 (122)
