I'm experiencing system reboots in Windows Server 2000 and Windows Server
2003.

The server just stops and restarts.

I'm pretty sure its a hardware problem.

Can you identify specific articles/resources that can be used to identify
and resolve the problem?

(I've gone through the clean the machine, re-seat cards and simple stuff)

thanks
 
Does the event log indicate that a minidump has been generated? If so,
there are resources on the Microsoft sire for interpreting the crash dumps.

No. It appears the machine just reboots vs. a BSD.

I am getting a number of these:

AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO port address
(0xcf8), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff protected address range. This could
lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical
assistance.

Any way to identify which device its accessing?
 
Found this.

Seems that a PCI card may not be working properly. I say that as it has
worked fine for 3 years and just now started misbehaving.

Thanks
