Hi,
We have an AlphaServer 1000 4/233, 192 megs of RAM, about 10 gigs
storage, (1 gig internal StorageWorks, 9 gig external Seagate). The
system has recently been crashing with no dumps, errors--nothing. This
has been happening roughy three times a day. We orginally thought that
the external drive (seagate) was overheating, it had a fan problem, which
has been taken care of, but the crashes still occur. I know this is
vague, but we have little information, too. Anyone have any ideas? We
only received one core dump out of about 15 or 20, from a crash that
occured around 1 p.m. Most occur between 12am and 6 am. The cause of the
crash that had the dump said "Machine check--hardware error".
We have had that in the past, but it was infrequent. Could this generic
external dirve be causing the crashes? Any ideas on how to find the
problem? Anyone with similiar problems?
Thanks for your help.
