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.
