having this rebooting problem with a W2K Pro workstation acting as a server in a small network.
There are no programs on the "server", just data.
P3- 733 MHz Intel CPU
256 MB RAM
2 40 MB hard drives running on a mirrored edie Raid controller
I have tried to run check disk and that causes a reboot.
Client's data had a bad file, but not sure if it has been removed. Clients software support thinks it has.
How do I find out what file, if any is bad?
Also, why is it rebooting?
Thanks,
dave
 
first of all, you need to see the BSOD. TO do that right click my computer, go to advanced, go to startup and recovery, and deselect automatically reboot. This will allow you to see the BSOD, and you'll be able to get more information from that. Jason Wichman

I have set the system not to reboot, but when it does there is NO BSOD. I have finally gotten check disk to run and it has said that it has fixed some minor file name error in file 6528.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Dave
 
Is the HD going bad? It said that it fixed a few bad sectors, so can you run a scandisk on this HD? If you can't get it to run in Windows, find a boot disk and run it from DOS. Provided your file system isn't NTFS. Could be that your HD is going. Jason Wichman

System is NTFS.
Have seen this system just do reboot after reboot, like it locked in a loop. Tried to repair the "OS" and still having the same problem.
Reloading the "OS" now. Will run disk diags as soon as it gets back up and stable.
Thanks,

Well, I cannot get this system to run normally. Finally I set the BIOS dto "fail safe" and it is running stable.
CPU 400
Speed 100
When I tried to go back to the 800 and 133 the system keeps on rebooting
Any ideas
HELP
Thanks,Dave
