Intermittent Problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a
variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware
defect, such as cosmic radiation, electronic discharge, or
software errors. FRU replacement should only be
considered when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the diagnostic test for the system board at least
10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.
