Thanks.
I found as I said in another post that I could read the System Event Log
by pressing F2 on boot.
I see that "dmidecode -t system" does indeed give me
information about the error:
--------------------------------------------------
Descriptor 2: Single-bit ECC memory error
Data Format 2: Multiple-event
Descriptor 3: Multi-bit ECC memory error
Data Format 3: Multiple-event
--------------------------------------------------
Not as explicit as the System Erro Log , though.
Eg can I tell from this which module is at fault?
(I don't have the faulty module in now.)
Incidentally, does anyone know what the many "Intrusion" entries
in the System Event Log mean?
