..... checking for faulty hardware?

If you've wiped the drive completely and reinstalled the OS, and the problem still exists, there is but one direction your investigation must lead.

What tools do you have on-hand to check RAM, CPU (speed and cooling), Graphics Card (speed and cooling), Motherboard, HDD, Power Supply, etc...?

Will it load in safe mode? If so, what is in the System Event Log? If nothing helpful is there you can use drwtsn32 and userdump to help find errors in the start up. While you are in safe mode turn off Automatic Restart on System Failure. Sometimes your PC isn't restarting on it's own, Windows is restarting do to the failure of a core process. In most cases turning off automatic restart will reveal to you a wonderful Blue Screen of Death, or as Microsoft likes to call it, a Stop Message.

Good luck.

First I would take teh vscan program off of the server.

Next verify that all hardware is working properly and get the latest drivers for them. Make sure you are using the 2000 drivers and NOT the 2003 drivers unless they work for both versions of server.

Once you have verified all of the hardware and drivers reinstall teh Vscan program. You might also want to make sure you have the latest version of that program.

Best of luck.
