PV 210s & PV220s & Dell 6450 with 2 PERC3/QC cards

Question

I am hoping someone reads this forum and can help out. I have a Dell 6450 with 2 PERC3/QC cards. One card is connected to a PV210S in split bus mode, the other is connected to a PV220S in split bus mode. The server is running Windows NT with MS SQL 7.0. Approximately every 10-14 days, the server crashes with the following blue screen error:        Hardware malfunction: call your hardware vendor for support.      The system has halted   We have replaced everything internally on the server (motherboard, PERC3/QC cards) and the SCSI interface cards in the two PVs. We have the latest BIOS, firmware etc, but still get these errors. The server has also been rebuilt.   In the Dell System Administratration system, we see the PCI parity error message.   Does anyone have any suggestions? Message Edited by brad_j on 01-10-2005 07:55 AM Message Edited by brad_j on 01-10-2005 07:57 AM

I had an issue with 6400 PERC 2di's and tried chaging out RAM, Cards, etc...Last attempt was CPU's which resolved the issue, even though it was random and never reporting errors.
