We would really like to replace the CPU if it's faulty, though!

The only image which wasn't running on the affected DSA13 was
BACKUP.EXE - executing from the system disk. However, it was backing
up DSA13 at the time.

The crash dumps are on their way to HP but is there any data structure
which points to why XQP didn't like the situation?

Thank you for your early response. I was wondering whether I'd have
any given the age of the processors!
