I have installed WIn2000 Server SP4, clean install on new system, NOT yet connected to network. As its a server, I did a basic install, then installed mother board drivers a few days later, and I let system burn in, to see if there are any problems.
The Mother board is a Asus P4V8X-X with an Intel P4 2.8, drives , 2 x 160 gig maxtors. ( tested Maxtor drives, with MaxBlast before and after installing OS, and drives passed all tests. (although test does not see partition on second drive, even though it is partitioned and formatted and working fine) all other tests pass ( loop test, so passed many times )
The drivers are the “VIa PT800/P4X533 series” drivers.
I have 2 event ID’s that I can not figure out. Both related to Hard drive & Controller, as follows
1)
Source Disk
Category None
Event ID 11
The driver detected a controller error on \device\harddisk0\DRO
2)
Source ATAPI
Category None
Event ID 5
A parity error was detected on\device\IDE\IDEPORT0
Microsoft says that the most likely cause is a bad cable, and I changed but this appears not to be the problem. I couldn’t find any more info on these event ID’s.
As for the system, it will re-boot itself, but only about every 2 to 4 days. As the system so far is stand alone, and never connected to a network or internet, it can not be a virus.
Anyone have any ideas the best way to trouble shoot this. The only thing I can think of , is the actual motherboard drivers.
