For reference: System is:

Iwill XA-100 motherboard
AMD K6-2 CPU 350 MHz
128 Mb SDRAM 10nsec
IBM 8.4 GB hard drive (above 4.3 GB is enabled]
BIOS is American Megatrends

System worked well when assembled. (by me) About two weeks ago while
booting I got a trap error message with the screen of hex numbers. Shut
down, rebooted and the system restored.

About a week later, got another trap which would not go away. Grabbed
the disks and reloaded Warp 4. Got intermittent traps when rebooting.
Moved the DIMM memory to another slot and no more traps for a while.

Last Saturday, the system trapped consistently. Moved the memory again,
but that did not help. Reloaded Warp 4 several times. Only once did
the installation get to the end of the CD and then it trapped when
rebooted. Many times I got a trap at diskette 2. Finally went into the
BIOS and disabled the external cache and now the system would run.

Today, enabled the external cache and immediately got trap 0006 or
000c. Traps seem to be random, 000c, 000d, 0006, 0008. Disabled
external cache agn and now it works.

Error is always at location: ##0160 fff54c70 00d:ac70.
