Hello Guys. Dell Precision 330, 1.8 cpu, 1.0gig ram, 20 gig hdd, NT 4.0 Workstation, SP6a. We ran this CPU intensive model on a P3-966 without any problems. Now we bought this new dell and the model crashes with doctor watson error. We bought two workstations like that and the model crashes on both pc's. While running on a slower pc, models works just fine. Any ideas why this occurs?

Thanks
 
Question... is your slower PC at the same OS and SP level? Besides the hardware, are they any other differences between the old and new PC's? such as apps (anti-virus, etc.)
You may want to run filemon during model execution to see what files are being hit. -- Devil Dog --
 
Dball is right..call Dell. You just bought the freakin thing..they're responsible for it.
