- It is somewhat common, yes, to have faulty cache memory. You may be
- trying to run it too fast (see if you can insert a wait state), or the
- cache memory may be somehow faulty. If the system is still under
- warranty, explain the problem to the manufacturer and ask for
- assistance. Otherwise, see what you can do to try and restore the
- cache memory. It is possible you may have to replace one or more
- faulty cache memory chips, but check other settings first.
