AFAIK is ASR the HP integrated watchdog. Your hpasmd sends a ping to a
hardware interface once in a while. If the hardware does not receive
that ping in a specified time (10 minutes by default) your machine will
coldboot automatically.
So an ASR means either your machine froze or your hpasmd hung and could
not satisfy the watchdog.
You can turn of ASR in the HP RBSU (Press F9 during boot) or via
hpasmcli (look for SET/SHOW ASR). If your machine runs well after that
then your hpasmd has a problem. If you find your machine frozen - happy
bughunting.
BTW: You can try turning off hpasmd as well (which will disable ASR too
as the watchdog doesn't get initialized) - but you will loose hardware
monitoring - so better watch those red LEDs daily :)
Kind regards
Heiko
