Re: Server keeps freezing up
Hi Justin,
sounds to me like a hardware problem. Or did the problem start after a
certain update? What do the log files look like just before the crash?
Maybe you should run a memory check or change the RAM bars.
Did you check the BIOS settings? Maybe there are wrong timing settings
for the RAM.
How old is the server hardware? Is the cooling in good order?
