Hang ups and flashing LEDs???

Hi all,

One of our AlphaStation 600 5/266 DU4.0b (patch level 6) has just
experience a extremely strange event. For an unknown reason, the
workstation stopped all inputs from mouse or keyboard and flashed the 3
LEDs on the keyboard several times although the workstation continued
playing the audio CD. The workstation resumed 'normal' operation after a
couple of seconds. This problem has occurred several today.

Unfortunately, no error message appeared in the log file or by the
DECevent program. I am lost what happened! So far, the problem is not
detrimental but is very unnerving.

Any help would be very helpful.


Regards,
Rich
