Critical Error Log
The Critical Error Log records memory errors, as well as catastrophic hardware and
software errors that cause the system to fail. This information helps you quickly identify
and correct the problem, thus minimizing downtime.
You can view the Critical Error Log through the Compaq Insight Manager. The Diagnostics
Utility either resolves the error or suggests corrective action in systems that do not support
event logs.
The Critical Error Log identifies and records all the following errors. Each error type is
briefly explained below.
