The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck

[aldi]

My windows NT 4.0 server rebooted by itselft yesterday one time. This mornind it did it again. As well as this afternoon.

The error below is from the event viewer.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0xc0000005, 0x8010a761, 0x00000001, 0x000005b4). Microsoft Windows NT [v15.1381]. A full dump was not saved.


I have no idea what a bugcheck is.

I think that the problem started after I installed services for macintosh and created some volumes on the server. I have the feeling that the server restarts when files are copied from a win dir to a mac vol from a pc (I not sure I'm going to test it tonight to make sure that this is causing the reboots - also i will disable "automatically reboot on stop error to see if more events errors are triggered) BTW... the volumes weren't created in their own partition (2GB partition) I created them out of an eighteen GB partition. When I created them I received a warning that I could have problems with the files.

I hope I've been clear enough explainning the problem and thank you very much in advance for any help or hint that you can provide.

If you need me to clarify anything let me know,

Mine does that occasionally in the middle of the night. Don't know the reason.

Something's happened that windows can't cope with. You can try googling with the bugcheck code (or first part of it) and/or visit MS knowledgebase to try to decipher it (I've never had any luck in that area!) - but if its just started happening, suggests either something is going/gone bad that previously worked or if you've changed any hardware/software or reconfigured recently, it may be that.

If you look in event viewer there should be a record of bugchecks - so you can see when it started/how frequent.

Thank you wolluf!!!

I found the problem; haven't solved it yet though.

The problem is the macintosh that i hooked to the network recently; every time i copy files to the mac volume the bugcheck happens.

The mac volumes have a max. size limit of 2 GB on NT 4.0. When I created the volume it doesn't prompt for the size, so the volume sees the whole size of the drive hosting the volume. I think that i have to create partitions of 2 GB each in order for those volumes to work properly.

anybody has come across this problem before? please let me know, I would like to know if this is the problem before messing with new partitions.

Thanks a lot for any help that you can provide,
