I have a Windows Server 2003 SP 1 which is running as a web server (not doing any highly intensive work yet as we are still piloting this program so only a limited # of users can access it, and they only do so for short periods of time). The server keeps locking up at least once per week, maybe even more. When it does lock up, I notice the start/task bar is no longer visible and the system tray also disappears. I can hit ctrl alt del, and hit shutdown, but nothing happens. I have to hold the power button in. Any ideas on what could be wrong. It is kept fairly up to date with Windows update.

Thanks!
