shutdown WHY?

[Jesse]

Ok, I have two IBM servers. The servers has been running
pretty well with no problems at all.
However, recently my server just shutdown itself for no
reason and I have set my domain Security log to log
everything however the only msg I get is this:

EventId:6008
The previous system shutdown at 10:10:36pn on 8/02/2003
was unexpected.

This was the only msg follow with an 6009 log:

eventID:6009
Microsoft (R) Windows 2000 (R) 5.0 2195 Service pack 3
Multipocessor Free.

Most of the shutdown problems seems to happen during the
weekend but nobody is working during the weekend so what
could be the cause of the shutdow?(software or hardware)
Sp4 has not been install due to other problems that occur
with others but the other updates are all up to date.

Thank you for any info
Jesse

Jesse:

I'm getting the same exact thing, my servers (proliants)
reboot for no reason. I have SP4 install recently, I
thought that might be part of it. I thought maybe RAM,
Processor, etc..., but, I have my replica server doing the
same thing, totally differnt system, etc...

So, I'm lost and back to square one. Email me and maybe
we can compare notes and solve this thing.

Power loss?

Ditto.
I have one , running SP$ (has been occuring sicne SP2) Spontaneously
restartss at random intervals, and hangs during the process.. The only error
message is that the previous shutdown was unexpected.

It always seems to happen at 0300- 0330 in the morning, every couple of
weeks. I have nothing running or scheduled at that time.

Hi,

I have seen this in the past before and the fix that we had was in
bios there was a setting for cpu temp and when it reaches a certain
temperature it will shut down the system...

Hope this helps...

Nope. Not unless it is really weird. It's on a APC SmartUPS3000 with three
other servers and no problems. Nothing in the logs or UPS logs to indicate
a powerblink.

It is as if the system hung in a shutdown or powerdown state. I have no
video, no keyboard, no mouse no nothing.

Well, in theory, the monitor agent is supposed to write to the event log.
And nothing has been written to indicate any type of problem. Which is why I
am scratching my head.
