Re: server crash...



I agree to what indra.. says also, does your system give any beeps while starting say one long followed by 8 short ones or any such. Please run some hardware diagnostic tools like amidiag from american megatrends etc.. This seems more like a h/w problem...

please move this to LIH

check if the RAM socket has become loose. Change the RAM to another unused
socket. This problem does occur if you remove and replace the memory cards
many times. Also clean the groove of the socket.
