PCI-6070E parity errors

I do not know anything about Labview , but here is my question.

 

We have a computer system which is using both a PCI-6602 and a PCI-6070E boards in an HP Z200 computer with XP OS.  We turned over a computer to the guys that support the LabView programs here and the system would fail with an "NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error". 

We tested this system using passmark burn in software for 24 hours and no failures, returned it and it failed with the same error.

Changed out the memory, failed again.

Gave them a whole new computer and it failed after approximately 20 hours of operation.

They keep saying something about HP BIOS being a problem, but I don't see anything here that indicates a problem with the HP Z200 Bios.

Why would a BIOS cause a problem?

What program is returning this error, I don't recognize this as an error from NI's software or drivers.  Do you know what driver versions are installed on the machine?

This is actually a computer "Blue Screen error".   From what I can tell, from reading around on internet, this is caused by an memory error somewhere on the computer.  We have taken the cards out and swapped them with another set of cards from another computer (different type of computer (white box OEM)).  Somewhere between 12 and 18 hours later, the error occurred again. So it appears that whenever they are running their program it creates some sort of conflict and crashes the system.

We have tried 2 HP Z200 Workstations and both have this problem.  The main confusion is why these computers appear to have a problem and others don't.  Wish it was something that could be repeated, but it appears to be rather random within 24 hours of operation.

Ignore, this post. I hadn't seen the latest developments when I originally posted.
