    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;It appears like you have a faulty hardware. NMI are are interrupts triggered in an attempt to regain control of your CPU that have been non-responsive, sometimes they dont respond to NMIs as well, these typically manifest as PCPU locked up. We also see PCPU locked up as 1 &amp;amp; 2(most likely one dual core CPU out of order), this is stronger indication that one of your CPU/socket that may be faulty.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Run thorough hardware diagnostics. Dont add this server in production and ensure the server is part of the VMware Hardware compatibility list &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I agree with &lt;B&gt;virtual_knight&lt;/B&gt;, one out of some new machines we had delivered got this error had indeed some hardware failures. Luckily we could return the unit as DOA and was confirmed afterwards that the machine had hardware related problems. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;Also, Do anyone come across the below one:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="PSOD1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/52021iD0160D2B59EF94DE/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="PSOD1.jpg" alt="PSOD1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;u&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes... I have.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Called HP... The support guy said "LINT 1 motherboard interrupt, eh?. New motherboard it is then" A guy showed up 2 hours later and replaced the board.... no problem since. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This was on a DL380p Gen8 too.. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/Rubeck&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
