Help with server locking up!

[unnamedplayer]

Hi all. I'm in a bit of trouble that we have running here that has been sporadically freezing.

Its running Win2k Server and for whatever reason it just starts to hang.

As an example, while I was browsing the shared directories from my computer, explorer would lockup and I would need to reboot. When I went to check on the server, it was responding super slow. If I went to check out My Computer on it, it would just display a white screen. If I try shutting down it just hangs and I have to manually reboot.

Its done this 3 or 4 times today. Any ideas of what could be causing this?

Virus activity or you may need data recovery.

System specs? All updates applied? CPU core temp?

Please post more information about your server. Hardware specs, software installed, purpose.

If that server is important to you and you have people depending on it, you might want to just call Microsoft PSS and have them help you fix it. The cost is only $245 and they'll stick with you until it's fixed, no matter how much time it takes.

That cost is peanuts compared to the real cost of having a server down for days while you are trying to figure out the cause.
