Hi Michael and thread.... I'm not implying this is the exact same, but I was getting a lot of software errors then began getting the BSOB. After searching google for explanations on the error messages, the first thing that seemed to be the problem was environmental... Seems one should clean all the dust off of that little screen in the back or one will have a little over heating problem <g>... I cleaned everything up and the BSOD problem went away... My gut feeling is a lot of these Sun "memory" problems are also environmental... even if so though.. It does become Sun's problem too... FWIW... Cheers, Roger

Then again, you never know what will trip up one of these machines. The mouse has brought my husband's Ultra Sparc workstation to a halt numerous times. The Unix Engineer spent an hour with it this week. Hopefully, he has corrected the problem, but if he hasn't, my husband will send it back to Sun. It's not a big deal because the machine is under warranty. These machines are delicate, you never know what will send them off. Maybe, a speck of dust could do it as Tiquer suggested. I think the memory problem is overblown. In the future, perhaps robots will repair memory problems. They might be the only ones that remember, especially if the human race is knocked out by a catastrophe! (VBG) It could happen though. Cheers, Mephisto

>>That won't come a moment too soon for IQ4hire, a Chicago-based start-up that purchased a Sun Enterprise 420R and a Sun Enterprise 220 server in May. Since then, the 420R has crashed seven times at the dot-com, while the 220R crashed for the first time last week, said CIO Eric Durst. << got webtone?? <G> my champagne supernova in the sky...
