What is a checkstop error?

What is a checkstop error? From: tvweaver@austin.ibm.com (Tom Weaver)


While this may not be the official definition, what it means is that the
hardware has detected a condition that it cannot resolve, and which prevents
normal operation. So, it stops executing instructions, responding to
interrupts, etc. Usually it means that some component of the hardware is
broken.
