[Info-vax] MACHINECHK on my XP900...

[Jan-Erik Soderholm]

Hi.

I have som e trouble with my XP900 466 MHz system.

Currently, when powered on, it boots (VMS 8.3) and runs
for 5-10 minutes, then I get this on the console :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

**** OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V8.3     - BUGCHECK ****

** Bugcheck code = 00000215: MACHINECHK, Machine check while in kernel mode
** Crash CPU: 00000000    Primary CPU: 00000000    Node Name: OSSBY1
** Supported CPU count:   00000001
** Active CPUs:           00000000.00000001
** Current Process:       NULL
** Current PSB ID:        00000001
** Image Name:

** Dumping error log buffers to HBVS unit 0

**** No supported device(s) found in DUMP_DEV
**** No DUMP_DEV devices found
**** Attempting to write the crash dump to the system disk

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I begin fault-tracing, I thought I'd ask if there
is anything in that message that "sticks out" ?

I had the box opened before this started and I might have
touched some RAM module or something like that. I do not know.

Is the code = 00000215 trying to tell me something important ? :-)

I was doing nohting in VMS, just booted and waited for the crash.
