Server Reboot on Bugcheck

[Patrick]

We have a Win 2000 Server that had automatically rebooted
itself due to a bugcheck. From the system event viewer,
the message from this was:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck
was: 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,
0x00000000). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was
saved in: C:\WINNT\MEMORY.DMP.

Can anyone help in determining what may have caused this??
or what is causing this.

7F is an "unexpected" kernel mode error. Specifically, the CPU reported an
error and in this case, the 08 indicates it was a "double fault", or a
bugcheck that occurred while the system was processing another fault.

According to the MSDN docs a double fault is most likely to occur because of
faulty hardware or it could be related to the kernel stack overflowing.

Did you recently add memory to the server?
