We have a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz comptuer with 512 MB of RAM in our office. The
sole purpose of this computer is to record video feeds from our security
cameras.
Other than Windows XP, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, the Camera software and
any additional drivers/software required for the computer to function, there
is nothing else on this computer. The video feeds are recorded on a 500 GB
hard drive and are transfered to server manually at the end of every working
week.
The problem is that the computer shuts off by itself every night. Video
records show that it usually occurs around 10 PM. When the computer is turned
back on the next day, it requires a full boot (not resuming from Standby or
Hibernate) and there is no signs of an abrupt shutdown. No error messages in
the system logs, no request to submit error reports. It appears that the
computer is shut down normally. It is connected to an APC battery back up,
which also shows no logs of power loss.
Anyone know what might be causing this? THe comptuer is running Windows XP
Professional w/ SP2 with all the latest updates from Microsoft Update.
Thanks in advance!
