Hi all,

I encounter a strange behaviour with a DS15 I'm configuring at work.
512 Mb RAm, Radeon 7500, VMS 7.3-2 Update 2.0

I encounter frequent system hangs, especially when playing with Decterm
scrollbars. The hang is total, no way to login via ethernet.

The memory is the original HP one. No memory errors are logged. I've made a
memtest under SMR/

> memtest -sa 0x0002BD20 -l 0x1FD42000 -b 1024 -p 1000

with and without -se 2

No errors are reported.

I've upgraded the firmware from 6.7 to 6.8 (just received the 8.2 kits) but
same problem. I've installed update V 3.0 same problem.

I suspect a hardware pb, but which ? mem ? cpu cache ? or a hidden DECW bug ?

If you have a clue ... if not i'll call HP ....

TIA

Patrick
