Hello to all. I have an old but sturdy PowerEdge T610 that was running WinSrvr2k3. I updated it to Windows 7 Enterprise...intending to try and upgrade it further to Win10...but now I'm getting random but VERY frequent BSOD that just say:
*** HARDWARE MALFUNCTION
Call your hardware vendor for support
*** The system has halted ***
At which point I have to hold the power button for five seconds to force a reboot.
I don't have a real purpose for this machine; it's old enough that it shouldn't be used for mission-critical applications. But I just hate to throw away something that was built like a tank, especially if all it needs is an OS update.
So if it's a simple problem of I'm doing X wrong and need to do Y...that's one thing. If it's a massive hunt to find the problem, then off to the Goodwill electronics recycling bin it goes.
Anyone have any suggestions on next steps?
TIA!
