Machine in a loop

[pcullen]

Hi,
One of our servers has decided to eat itself!
The machine when turned on will go through post and get to the blue screen before log on and then restart and go throughthe whole thing again the blue screen itself looks fine and reports no errors
I have removed NIC Video card cdr fdd memory and reseated the CPU.
Our drives are on a SCSI chain that is external to the drive.

Nothing has been added to the machine in the last age.

Paul...
all i can suggest is that "when in doubt, reinstall".
your server sounds as if its pretty much had it. i look after 25 NT server and i've come accross the same problems, may be not exactly, but close enough. you could spend a great deal of time debugging NT but i don't have that time so i keep a ghost image of the server. i know this doesn't answer your question.

Have you tried replacing the CPU with another to see if you get the same result at all ?
