The consensus is that any time a machine check error shows up in the log
it could indicate a hardware problem which may begin to occur more
frequently. If you have a hardware contract (which luckily I do) it is
a good idea to log a call and have the problem checked. I have done
this and am now awaiting the reply from HP support.

Original question:
This morning our DS20 running tru64 V4.0F had an apparent problem which
initiated an immediate reboot. (Of course this happened on a day when I
am home very ill) The machine booted normally and appears to be
functioning properly now with both cpu working. I checked the messages
log and found the following, which seems to indicate a possible cpu
problem:
Should I be initiating a hardware service call immediately? Has anyone
seen this kind of thing previously?
