| Have you looked at the error log? Since you mention a "78032", it's
probably a microvax-II.. they will crash with "Machine Check" if
they get a memory error; if you want to continue shotgunning it,
swap the memory.
Bugcheck.Mem is at VAXWRK::SYS$PUBLIC: last I knew..

| RE:554.1
Looking at VAXWRK::sys$public I find:
$ dir vaxwrk::sys$public:bugcheck*
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
$ dir vaxwrk::sys$public:*.mem
Directory VAXWRK::DOCD$:[SYS$PUBLIC]
ODS2.MEM;1 PCS750V99.MEM;2 SALVAGE.MEM;1 WORKPLAN.MEM;1
Total of 4 files.
Doesn't seem to be there any more. If some one has a pointer to BUGCHECK.MEM,
I'd also like to know where it's located.
Thanks,
Dan Eaton

Yes, MICROVAX II.
I havent seen any memory errors with SHO MEM. I didn't look too closely
at the error log yet.
when I swapped the CPU this morning, I also set the VMS8 sysgen parm to 1.
The system MACHINE CHECKED about 10 mins after every reboot! Before CPU swap
it would crash a couple times a day or sometimes not for days...
Since resetting VMS8 to 0 (and CPU), seems ok now. I guess I'll wait till
tomorrow before believing it!

Heres the latest one (after CPU swap!)
Funny thing is the error log says USER mode and the bugcheck was
machine check while in kernal mode... Maybe the fatal one dosen't get into
the ERRLOG?

| Yup.. sounds like a memory error. Do you have a dump file? If not,
I don't think the detail on the error will get logged. (During a
crash, the error log buffers get written to the dump file, and then
get copied out to the error log file upon reboot. If it happens
again, create yourself a 4 block SYSDUMP.DMP so the error logging
data gets to the file.
According to this log, you got a read error. The VAP (address) is
way up in memory - Do you have a 16Mb machine? if so, i'd suggest
that the second memory card is bad..

Yes, 16 meg VS II.
I put a dump in
Directory WJG""::DUA0:[SYSDUMP]
SYSDUMP.DMP;1 32772 27-JUL-1987 08:32
Total of 1 file, 32772 blocks.
if your interested!
What should I do about the memory? run some diagnostics and then try
to get the board swapped? Are 8 meg boards still hard to get?
Is there a common problem with these boards? Maybe I can resolder bad
connections...
I guess this explains why BANNER keeps dying. BANNER_ERROR.LOG has
lots of access violations in it. These must be caused by bad memory?
Thanks for all the help. I was hopeing it wasn't memory but...
