error

[will]

I am running win2k server SP4 and I got Citrix Metaframe
XP1.0 SP2 running on it as well.

The server rebooted itself out of nowhere. It has been put
in production very recently. When I checked Event View. I
spotted the errors below:

Please what is the cause of this error? and how can i fix
it?

The Compaq system management Driver has determined that
memory module #5 has exceeded its threshold of correctable
errors. Subsequent correctable errors will continue to be
corrected, but memory error reporting will cease until the
system is Rebooted.

The Compaq system management Driver has detected that the
system encountered a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) prior to
this boot. The NMI source was: Uncorrectable memory
error , socket

I believe it means what it says - your server has a faulty or failing memory
module. I would check with Compaq support to confirm this and pursue any
warranty repairs necessary.

You either [hopefully] have an issue with a RAM module or you have a problem
with your NMI. You can verify it with Insight Manager.

Will, try removing the RAM form the corresponding socket and see if that
corrects the problem.

I had a same issue on a database server. The machine would reboot. The
problem was I didn't catch it soon enough, and as a result, had to
re-install the O/S and recover all of my data.

Not fun when you're crunched for time, as everyone in I.T. seems to be these
days.
