Win 2003 Server reboot after a few days of the [game server] [ups]
Q: My router / Gameserver has recently randomely again on his own. When I log back into Windows 2003 Standard says that the system had a shutdown enexpected. Ive looked through the event viewer and I dont see any errors saying that a program is causing problems. There is no memory dump to look through. Recently, this happens about every 3-5 days and the computer on a UPS, so no lack of power since my main system has been two weeks without the 350 watt PSU reboots.
Could go bad or is there another option? I recently reinstalled Win 2003 server to see if that would solve the problem and it didnt.

Re:Tonight when I get my spare 450 watt PSU back I will install that and reset the heatsink with some new artic silver and check the temps again. Hopefully that will solve my random rebooting problem.
My Servers System specs are:
Soyo 7isa+
PIII 1 Ghz CPU
2 Dlink network cards
80 Gb Seagate
Using onboard video
300 watt Sparkle PSU
Virtual Private Server (vps) with Web Interface, for MetaTrader Forex

The PSU is a Sparkle 300 watt now that I look at it. I will also try running memtest86 and see if errors showed up over time. I did install motherboard monitor and its reporting CPU temp at 76 C but the heatsink isnt very warm and case temp is around 28 C. I think the CPU thermal sensor could be wrong since it works just fine and has been this way for many months.
You have a thermal problem. There is no reason the CPU should be that high unless the fan died or the heatsink isnt mounted properly. I just did this 2 weeks ago and couldnt get the heatsink to properly seat. My CPU temps would hover around 65C and eventually shoot to over 70 and the system would shut itself off.
I am 99% sure this is your problem. 76C is friggin hot!

Re:List your system specs. Sounds like your heatsink is not mounted correctly if your temp is that high.

Re:It could be that there isn't a good connection between the heatsink and processor and that is why the heatsink is not warm. Try re-applying some thermal grease. Also 300 Watt is pretty bare minimum now-a-days.

Re:Run memtest86 on the memory to see if it has errors. What brand of power supply is it?
