Can anyone tell me where to get information about the information in
a machine check error?  I have a machine that is logging a bunch of these,
and while they say that they are correctable, we are also having a problem
installing the OS, and I need to narrow it down.  I'm not having any luck
getting through to HP support, so I would appreciate any other help I could.
thanks
