1. To confirm it's not hardware, run the Dell DSET diag test. 2. Open a ticket with Dell, this is the first thing they will ask for.

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 ~ 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
