Server continually restart at 0440 (4:40 am) every morning

by jonathon.johnson . Updated 15 years, 9 months ago

Every morning, one of my backup servers shutdowns (assuming BSOD) and restarts. When I log in that morning, it’ll say (after login) “System restarted after stop error: …..”. If I report it to microsoft, it’ll say its a blue screen due to driver error. I’ve checked all the drivers already. They’re the same version and drivers as another server of the same type.

I’ve check the event logs everytime, and it’s a consistant thing. Sometime around 0436 and 0444 every morning, it mysteriously restarts. There’s no scheduled tasks at that time, no major network events at that time, no labor on the server at that time, and nothing I can think of is working.

It’s a intermediate (right word?) problem. It doesn’t always restart, just some of the time. Usually about 3-6 times a week. Any suggestions?

Here’s the log of the event from today:

3/9/2009 7:12:44 AM USER32 Warning None 1076 \ The reason supplied by user \ for the last unexpected shutdown of this computer is: System Failure: Stop error
Reason Code: 0x805000f
Bug ID:
Bugcheck String: 0x000000c2 (0x00000044, 0x00002000, 0x80000000, 0x00000000)
Comment: 0x000000c2 (0x00000044, 0x00002000, 0x80000000, 0x00000000)”

From clicking on the link in the event viewer, it says it’s a driver error. But as I said, they’re all up to date, and the same versions as another 2 servers like it and those other 2 are not doing this.
