IBM PC330/PC350 - Intermittent TRAP 000E or General Protection Faults

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PC 330 and 350 75/90Mhz Pentium based systems (6576 and 6586) may exhibit intermittent trap 000E errors or intermittent General Protection Faults (GPF) in Windows.

Problem Isolation Aids:
Trap 000E errors may be displayed intermittently during the initial system startup that boots to the "Welcome" screen on the "Select-a-Bus" preloaded systems or at some other point during or after IPL.

This failure only affects systems with one or more 8Mb IBM Tin-Lead memory SIMMs, FRU P/N92G7245.

Customers using a DOS operating system may experience "UNRELIABLE XMS MEMORY" errors.

Advanced Diagnostics run without errors.

Fix:
Replace 8Mb SIMM FRU P/N92G7245. If the failure persists, continue normal problem determination procedures to isolate the failure application or FRU.
