1613.0. "6410 STATENTSVD Powerfail problem" by TOPTEN::AVERBACH () Tue Apr 22 1997 18:19

    
    	We have customer with a vax 6410 who has been experiencing
    intermittent "STATENTSVD" bugchecks. This bugcheck says "STATE NOT
    SAVED DURING A POWERFAIL". The problem can occur once a week
    or go away for as long as 2 months. The system always restarts by
    itself and when set not to reboot, the engineer who went out said he
    did not see anything wrong. We have been troubleshooting this as a
    power problem. The problem is definetly in the box since the input
    power was swapped with another system as well as having a dranetz
    installed. 
    	All power supplies have been replaced, pal box, ac input, xtc,
    front panel, cpu board, air flow sensor, temp sensor, and the last thing 
    swapped was the XMI cardcage and the cables that go from the xmi backplane
    to both bi backplanes. It has not gone down again, yet.
    	The question, can a module such as memory, dwmba/a or /b or any bi
    options cause the system to powerfail in this way?
    
    	Any input would be appreciated!!!
