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