Server crashes every few hours

[guest]

The first time I installed it it was solid for a couple of days but then it would simply shut down every few hours. When logging back in it would tell me there was a problem with the backup routine. That's fine, I really don't need it to back up my computers(I have Vista 64 on one so it won't anyways). So I ended up doing a format and reinstall.

Same thing, solid as can be for a couple of days and then crashes every few hours.

First i'm thinking there is a heat problem, i've put it in a different case(CMstacker) with plenty of air flow but this didnt' change anything. I under clocked the CPU to reduce temps and that didn't help. Next i'm thinking the PSU is bad. But it's only a month old and was solid when I was running XP on the same system. So i'm hoping it's just something with the RC that is buggy and it's been fixed in the final release.

My specs:

P4 3.4ghz
2x1gb PC3200
Asus P4C800-E
Enermax 500w Liberty
Voodoo 3
2x Promise TX4 SATA2 controllers
1x74gb raptor
2x160gb seagate
2x250gb seagate
1x500gb seagate

I followed these directions below and have killed the sbscrexe.exe process so i'll report back on if that works.








- Tools you'll need – Process Explorer from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysint ... lorer.mspx


As you probably know, you have a service called SBCore or "SBS Core Services", which executes the following process: C:\WINDOWS\system32\sbscrexe.exe

If you kill it, it just restarts – and if you try and stop it you are told Access Denied.

If you fire up Process Explorer, you can select the process and Suspend it, now we can start to disable the thing.

Run regedit and expand the nodes until you reach the following hive / key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SBCore

Right click this, hit permissions and give the "Administrators" group on the local machine full access ( don't forget to replace permissions on child nodes ). F5 in regedit and you'll see all of the values and data under this key.

Select the "Start" DWORD and change it from 2 to 4 – this basically sets the service to the "Disabled" state as far as the MMC services snap-in (and windows for that matter) is concerned.

Next, adjust the permissions on the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\sbscrexe.exe so that EVERYONE account is denied any sort of access to this file.

Then go back to process explorer, and kill the sbscrexe.exe process, if it doesn't restart – congratulations!

Load up the services MMC snap-in and you should find that "SBS Core Services" is stopped and marked as Disabled.
