server will reboot at random times

Chicago Area Laptop for rent: $35 per day plus $10 for additional day

The server will reboot at random times

Q: I'm running Windows Server 2003 w/AD and DNS. Is a Domain Controller also. The
server will reboot at random times. Have replaced memory, PS, video, ups.
Running out of options. Sometimes it will go weeks with our rebooting.

In addition to the probability of it being hardware or driver based, I would
also periodically check the amount of memory being used by running processes,
to ensure that there's no process leaking memory. There's been a number of
issues with LSASS leaking memory under certain circumstances.

A: Get into the event logs and check for ANY warning or errors. Especially
around the time of the reboot.

One of my DL380s was doing this for no apparent reason. I simply fired up
the latest PSP and updated all drivers to the latest versions. The problem
then went away.
