Alpha 1000 and 4.0G

Hi folks,

I have an Alpha 1000 that is currently running fine on 4.0D. We have tried
to upgrade it to 4.0G. The upgrade went fine but afterwards it hung
re-booting.

We then tried it as a fresh install. We get Machine Check Errors. If we
were lucky we could get through the install with out it crashing (we have
tried several times.) Once it finished it would come up but would reboot
with Machine Check errors within 5 minutes. We seemed to stablize it by
taking off the side cover and lying it on it's side (OK, we were getting
desperate. It was this or call a witch doctor).

Is this a genuine hardware problem that 4.0D ignores? (We have restored the
4.0D and it runs fine.) Is there something we missed? We are current on
firmware and ECU.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
