Stop Error C0000218 Repeately

[Chupes]

Hi. I Have a Dell PowerEdge 4400
And im running Win2k Server sp4
over a Raid 5 Hardware Array. (PERC )
For Terminal Services Access.

The Problem is: During the nigths something
happens on the server, and when i come back
the next day i find STOP Error: C0000218
(Software hive), y repaired it with the recovery
console, and it happened again like 2 days after,
but this time all the hives were damaged (system, SAM, etc)

So i reinstalled the whole server, it was running smooth
for like 3 more days, and then i get the same error.
The event log doesn't record any errors and the time is
about: 2 - 3am.

By the way I have an antivirus with all updates.

Have you tried letting the server run on its own for a few days after
rebuilding it to make sure that there isnt a hardware issue of some sort on
the box? Otherwise, you would want to do some auditing on the machine to
see if a particular users actions correlate to the problem with the hives.

Frequent registry corruption can come from bad memory, faulty controller,
problems with your disk controller and its drivers, power problems, software
problems with unloading registry hives, etc.

Are you experiencing power outages? Could your UPS be suspect?

Make sure all your PERC firmware is up-to-date and compatible drivers are
loaded for your disk controller.

Do you have disk caching enabled? You might want to try disabling your
write caching on your system volume to see if that yields a more stable
system.
