Re: Seeking help in Crash Dump analysis.
This box isn't worth fixing.
If your management is willing to waste more money (by attempting to save money) then start building up spare parts.
If your management is willing to waste even larger buckets of money (by not upgrading software), you're going to end up figuring out how to get those error logs decoded across versions and boxes, and you're in the range where +4+ tools can be required, depending on the error. ELV (which arrived at V7.3), ANALYZE /ERROR (which was very problematic in this range), DECevent DIAGNOSE, and the replacement for DECevent known as SEA / WEBES / WEBEM / WBEM or whatever it is know known as. (Downloads for the older OpenVMS-based versions are/were available. The current stuff (version doesn't usually matter here, as this hardware being diagnosed is old enough) requires a client and installing some software over on Windows.
Move to emulation, or move to newer (new or used) hardware (probably Itanium, as all of the Alpha stuff is getting pretty old), get your organization a formal support and escalation path, or start accumulating parts and skills to maintain this box within your organization.
As for your immediate requirements, re-seat everything, and expect to need to swap memory and replace disks, and quite possibly more parts.
In summation, your management needs a replacement path for this configuration.
