the computer has rebooted from a bugcheck win2k pro

man I do love this website you guys are awesome.

I'm glad that you finally found out that it is windows 2k pro

Well we were having this problem and no there was no blue screen of death. This was happening up to two times a day to this poor end user. THen I completely reformated the hard drive, re-installed everything, and it was clean for about 2 weeks, it has just started up again....

yes it is on a domain, there are no scripts involved. This has been happening for a good 2 years just got worse and my boss (senior network admin) finally saw it happen. Didn't really believe her and the end user "doesn't like to complain" anyway he made the project mine and I'm at a stand still. I downloaded the debugger for windows, and tried looking through the mini dump file they have left... alas I cannot make sense of this stuff at all! We cannot afford to spend 20 hours to get this computer working and not have her be working. I can't do too much trial and error, hence the problem. *sighs* alas....

kn1ght once again the confused.

hey knight , have u installed the latest service pack ??

if yes , kindly remove it coz i read somewhere that the latest service pack ( 4 i suppose !!) is giving lot of problems :lol:

Its been happening for two years ? chances are it isn't the latest SP then.

If this is not a mission critical machine, why not just give it the wipe and start over ? At least that way if it happens again on a clean install you can isolate it to being a hardware problem.

Already did a full re-install/format

My boss says that I need to get into the minidump .dmp file with windows debugger but i'm not getting it to work right I don't think. I have 3 .dmp files and each one says it rebooted from different problems.....
Wierd

I've never had the pleasure of looking through Windows minidump files.. I assume it dumps the stack and the registers, but what else.. and how are you supposed to understand that data unless you know exactly what the program was doing at the time.

Sounds to me like you have a hardware problem if you've already wiped the disk once before..

belive me bud you aren't missing much. I wouldn't quite use the words "pleasure"

You are correct that is what it looks at, stacks exc. It told me a few times that there is an IRQ conflict which I didn't even think about, I haven't had too much trouble w/ IRQ conflicts unless I was back in 3.11 days (anyone else have any great times with IRQ conflicts back with 3.11?!?!?) on the modem, we have a t1 line so I just ripped the modem out.... turned the onboard soundcard off in the bios... Hope that does it <grins>

Thanks
