  Meaning of Machine Check? 
 The Question is:
 
When booting an as4100 just after the device scan and openvms banner a message
 pops up that reads:
 
ERROR_ROUTINES_1605  MACHINECHECK 660
 
Memory then dumps and the system reboots. Usually it takes 2 booting attempts
 before the operating system finally loads.
 
Can anyone steer me in a direction on what this means? I've applied an ECO that
 seems to deal with the MACHINECHECK message, but can find nothing on the
 ERROR-ROUTINES part.
 
Thx
Geoff
 
 The Answer is:
 
  It would appear that your AlphaServer 4100 series system has a
  hardware problem.  Please check your error log, and please contact
  your hardware support organization for assistance.
