Don't you think you should have checcked that option before bringing it to the list?
Test the memory with memtest on a bootable cd, though rebooting the server every 2-3 days sounds like a software program with a memory leak. Rule #1 Develop a plan. Rule #2 Follow the plan. jason One other option I'm thinking of is that I may be running low on disk space on the C:\ drive. I'm trying to free up a few hundred megs more to bring it up to 2 gigs free. -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 11:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: server locks up Well, OpenManage reports no problems on any hardware... so I'm pretty much stuck figuring it has to be something software-related... -----Original Message----- From: techconnect [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 11:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: re: server locks up Instead of blindly looking at the problem develop a method.. My method if the logs reveal nothing would be Check the fans and heatsink if ok Test memory if ok Test the Harddrives if hardware is ok then you've a software problem. Thanks, Jason I've got a Dell Poweredge 2900 that keeps locking up for no apparent reason that I can find. Nothing in the event logs...just the logs stop at a certain point. If I reboot the server on a regular basis (2 or 3 times per week) it's all good, but I hate to do that. I'd like to find out what's causing this problem. Any suggestions where to start since there appears to be nothing in the event logs? Server is Windows 2003 and is one of our DCs. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
