Got the new RAM, machine is still doing it.... Anybody out there?

Well, I took all the components out of the case, and it seems that while I ordered Kensington RAM, somehow I ended up with Powmem *boggle*. I am 99.99999% sure that this is my problem. Guess this teaches me to double check serial and part numbers when I get equipment... although, the RAM did...

Hmm... I'll check the short idea... anyone else have any ideas? :)

What kind of PSU did you change to? Also, can anybody make a reccomendation for a replacement board?

Yea I ran MemTest86 which is an in-depth memory tester, turned up no problems. I was thinking it might be a PSU problem, but it's a Antec 450W..... also, PSU's generally arn't on the fence - it either works or it doesn't, in my experience. How would this make it cycle so?

Hehe.. I know these boards (S2460) have some problems in the boot logic that cause you to have to reboot it a lot, but I'll be damned if I can figure out why it keeps crashing like this.... the frequency is really odd too... it seems almost cyclical, like it's every 2-4 weeks it happens again.

Yeah.. I have to reboot about 50 thousand times to get the machine to POST. Last night, I ran Memtest for a while, came up with nothing, but when I rebooted into windows the machine is working fine now..

I should also mention that I've tried switching processor and RAM slots, no luck.

I have a server that intermittently crashes for about 24 hours, and then stops. After it stops, it works fine for a variable period of time (sometimes as short as a day, another time it worked for several months) and then begins the cycle again. I am running Windows 2000 Server SP3 fully...

I have a user who is connecting via VPN into a remote network belonging to another company (and hence in a different forest.) Between us and them are, of course, firewalls. I do not block any outbound ports. The VPN connects successfully. This user is using Windows 2000. He is a member...
