Spontaneous reboots can occur with no memory errors reported. This problem is associated with an entry in the System Event Log (SEL) labeled OEM #0x12 followed by a series of entries labeled OEM record e0. Here is an example:
6502 | 12/22/2007 | 07:41:21 | OEM #0x12 | | Asserted 6602 | OEM record e0 | 00000000040f0c0200100000f2 6702 | OEM record e0 | 01000000040000000000000000
The hexadecimal value in “OEM record e0” entries might be different from those in the example.
