event viwer id 6008

This may seem insulting...but have you verified that the power was not a problem....ie a faulty UPS ect.

there is a setting in the system properities / advanced/startup and recovery. It states to auto reboot. this meaning that if the server blue screens then the server will automaticaly reboot. to get to this area right click on the my computer icon and select properties and you will see the last tab, advanced.
you server may have a bad driver or system file and is rebooting at the bluescreen.

yes the other is possible , lost of power would also show the same error.

hope this gets you going in the right direction

Do you have an evaluation version of Windows 2000 Server?

See Microsoft articlw Q250920:

Excerpts from the article:

"This article describes the behavior of the Windows 2000 Evaluation version and what happens when the 120-day evaluation period expires."

"When Windows 2000 generates the stop message and restarts, the following event is recorded in the System event log:

Event ID: 6008

The previous systemshutdown at hh:mm:ss on xx/xx/xxxx was unexpected."

See the article for the resolution.

not to be funny but I was in the same situation, this one company/gym I was doing work for always had this error on the server, I always ask any power outage, or anyone reboot, they looked at me and said HUH ??? so one day I got there real early and found that a stupid little dog was laying next to the computer and that was the cause, how it went back on, dunno but the time I seen that I realized this business I started would be difficult, and so far I am right so who knows maybe this is the problem,

Good luck
