Win 2000 Server restarting
- Thread starter roth21cz
- Start date
A couple of things can be causing this;
- You have a failed driver, system file that is causing blue screens and you have your server set to automatically reboot on failure (most likely). Try rebooting into the recovery console and modifying the following reg key
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Name: CrashControl
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 Disable automatic reboot
- You have a failed CPU/power supply/RAM etc. Try to isolate the problem by disabling autorestart as per the instructions above.
