NMI = Non maskable interrupt - a hardware level event which is of paramount
importance and needs the attention of the system immediately.
Parity error - occurs when the hardware has detected corruption in the
physical memory installed in the system, indicating that the memory is
damaged, that it has become physically detached, or that some other part
of the system is causing errors of such magnitude that it is disrupting
the main communications bus in the machine. Heat would be one guess, but
as you didn't specify what hardware we're talking about, we don't know.
Call your hardware vendor for support ;-)
