Robert,

	Something is amiss. Is this really an AS1000 5/333 or AS1000 5/300?

	The data eludes to someone adjusting the speed of a AS1000 5/300
	to 333 mhz.

	This could cause the Machine Checks...

	This value in BC_CONFIG:0000000001C11882, is only valid for AS1000 
	5/300.

	Please check the cpu module for part number 54-24799 (a cpu that 
	really can run 333) or 54-24719 the cpu I think it is...

	If it really is running at 333 and the part number on it is 54-24719
	and you don't think the partner changed it, that is your problem....

    colleages,
    
    A customer had the following mach check under NT. This machine is
    serviced by our partner. But in my own interest. Does anybody have an
    answer what this mach check is.. I don't have any service manuals to
    decode the error bits.. and the decoder programs I know don't do EV5 of
    the A1000
    
    This is a A1000 5/333

    Bill,
    
    I phoned the customer. The machine is really an 5/300 machine and NOT
    an 5/333. So what do you really think the problem is???
    
    greetings,

If the machine has NT V4.0 and is running a version of AlphaBIOS below V5.21,
then upgrading the firmware to V5.21 or above will solve your problem.

You can download the latest firmware 
from http://www.windows.digital.com/support/sysoft.asp.
