Alan, |
23 |
Consider (if possible - is this a desktop or some in service |
24 |
server?) powering down your machine, reseating your memory DIMMs, |
25 |
powering back up and if possible running memtest86 (assuming it's an |
26 |
x86 machine) and then seeing if the error goes away. |
27 |
|
28 |
I've run into this a couple of times when memory problems have appeared. |

Good luck and best wishes, |
