I was just putting together a network and still had the desktop showing. As
soon as I attached the crossover cable between the two computers NICS the
screen displays:
hardware malfunction
NMI Parity check/ memory parity error
***the system has halted***

Ctrl-alt-del has no effect cannot do anything
Dell XP system is one day old.
systems now separated, on old 95 system.

SUGGESTIOINS PLEASE leaving as is until I hear.

Indicates nothing to do with the network..... but bad RAM (memory).

On which PC are you getting this error.... let's hope it's the Dell which is
obviously still under guarantee.

Looking at Dell, it is the new Dell, groups now and see lots of this
relating to NIC cards.
For now my FIRST question is since how do I get out of this halted system?
Ctrl-alt-del no help
Power down????????

Call Dell's tech support. A one day old system should not have this happen.
You are entitled to at least one year of tech support and parts, probably
including on site support if needed.

Sorry, too fast on the send button. If the NIC is Dells (came in the system
it will definitely be their problem unless you have a defective crossover
cable. If you have any way to check that I would do so before calling.
Does the NIC show in device manager? In properties, does it indicate any
error messages?
