My unix pc is crashing extremely often, always with the same panic message similar to: *hpte: 0xnnnn panic: NM1 (kernel parity error) double panic: When I say "extremely often" I mean - I boot the machine and it usually crashes within 2 hours! I booted the diagnostic disk and found no memory errors. What else could cause this? Could the infamous dust-bunnies be at fault? I hope it something that simple. note: I'm running v3.51 Any words of wisdom? thanks, -- Rex Fowler rmfowler%texrex@cirr.com cs.utexas.edu!egsner!texrex!rmfowler

Can you believe it?? Took a long time to figure out, as the power supply seemed to be O.K. Carefull measurements of the voltages proved it to be defective and replacement cured the problem. -- Ray Schafer schafer@peyote.cactus.org Austin, Texas ..cs.utexas.edu!peyote!micrtk!micro
