HP Event Monitor

[Joe Robinson_1]

Below is the error I'm seeing. I've looked to see if there is an updated version of the Event Monitor available, with no avail. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I had this on an N-class, hp said that most of the errors were not serious. They updated the software and firmware and I stopped getting them.

I'd always be careful about this.
You should in anycase get up to the
latest diagnostics software just to be sure
about it.
Download STM from software.hp.com/SUPPORT_PLUS/
install it (no reboot)
run mstm
select the device with space
main menu - tools->information->run
and then tools->activity log->latest logs
to see if there is anything there.

I've seen EMS trap some errors relating
to memory even when the memory test on
boot up didn't catch them, so I'd tend to
believe there is some kind of problem.

Later,
