Ciso 2514 weirdness

I've got a 2511 Router here in my lab that starting freezing up today. I left hyperterminal on to see if it printed any messages. The only thing I seen, Abort at 0x325E9BA (PC), didnt give to much info. Nothing on google either. Anyone have any ideas? It seems to lock up about every couple of hours.

Bad memory? Failing motherboard?

If it's a used router, both of the above are known to happen.

I figured its something along those lines.

You can try to remove and reseat the flash and RAM. Check the contacts and use a rubber eraser on them if they look dirty or corroded.

that sounds like a router crash......

the hex value you get is indicating the PROGrAM COUNTER (PC)
if you remember something about mcu 's that PC indicates the direction of memory where the instruction is located.

so try this

if you can get CLI perform the #Sh region
command (is its supported!!!!!!)
and it will show you the map of memory in the router.
look at the values of IOMEM and then check if the value of the PC fits into the IOMEM range. if yes,you have a problem with your DRAM but if not
it's an IOS problem.

i hope this was useful
