The error message you are getting indicates that you have a 
single-bit (correctable) error at location 0x0000090c in low
memory.  One way to get rid of it is to replace the memory
chip that corresponds to the appripriate bit position and 
address.  If you have non-Dec memory and the chips are socketed
this is possible for you to do.  Otherwise you'll have to 
have the board replaced.  

Actually, this is a problem you can live with, and you will probably
have to do so if you have Dec memory.  Since it is correctable, it
shouldn't bother you except for the annoying messages every ten
minutes if it is in a frequently accessed location.  I have had
a similar problem with 0x00023760 for a couple of months now; DEC
won't replace the board because it is only a single-bit error and
nothing else is affected.
