Microway Screamer problems

Several days ago I booted my Microway Screamer after long period of time. I tried to install Debian Linux. However, I got some virtual memory error during installation. After that I couldn't install anything. I was always getting "Proccessor detected single bit ECC error in Bcache" error.

I think it might be memory or processor problem. I'll try to test memory on my old Socket 7 motherboard (if it will boot with them). It will be difficult to get replacement for them because I need 4 sticks of SIMM 70 ns ECC parity memory modules. If it is CPU than it won't be easy too. However I have one CPU (however, it can be in not working condition). It is a pity because I didn't use this computer as much as I wanted.
