Hi there
I have a box that at 4pm started recieving soft errors on a DIMM, normally this is ok and we have time to swap it out. But I got the following error which caused the box to reboot
NOTE: there were abount 6 or 7 normal "soft error encountered" messages before this one

My question is this really, is it possible that when an process tries to access the specific bad area of memory on the DIMM it can cause the box to reboot .......because in the above example, its only when the process (apas_OaLgw) gets involvedf that anything happens
any help would be greatly appreciated
