Hmm... I would say, check the *.dmp files for clues.

Also since this is your 1st timei and Event 106 stated that it has
corrected, let's trust it for a while. If you are getting lots of these
evetns lately, then it's another story. :)

Hello,

I have an HP Proliant DL380 with dual 32-bit Xeon 3.2Ghz which has been
running W2K3sp1 for almost a year now without any issues.

It is also a Domain PDC and GC.

Today it logged the following events:

Event 26: Windows - System Error - A machine check error occurred.
Event 106: WMIxWDM - Machine Check Error reported is a corrected error.

A google search returned:
- 64bit hardware/software issues - obviously this is not the problem.
- a reference to this being an indication that the processor is failing.

My questions:
- does this indicate a problem with a failing CPU?
- if so, is there a way to figure out which CPU (dual CPU configuration).

So far I've only recorded ONE event on the server. But I've never seen
this
event before on any of my Compaq/HP servers running NT, W2K or now W2K3.

This hardware is still under warrenty.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can give me.
