I have experienced many things in my IT experience but never anything like this. I have a client with a win2k server. It is a dell box sc600. It is a standard server – nothing out of the ordinary. The problem is like a temporary freeze. The sysem just hangs. It doesn’t crash. It just stops – dead. 5 to 15 seconds later – it resumes. No logs. Nothing works when the systems goes into this coma type state. It is triggered by an event – any event – random. The same event does not always do it. I have run every diagnostic tool dell offers. I have searched every tech site imaginable for similar situation but nada. It just began a few months ago. Nothing new has been added except server2k patches and updates and norton corp AV updates. In addition to the wired network, I have a terminal server connection for 5 wireless tablets and I noticed it when the users began complaining about a lag – like resource overusage and you get a memory lag while the system catches up but it wound up being due to the server just freezing in its track. I have noticed the cpu utilization often max out 100% even for the slightest event including dragging a window and there is 2 gig of ram on this baby. Anything at this point helps
