The server reboots periodically with the blue screen.
The hardware tests using the tools provided by the manufacturer have not
reviled any problematic component.

The message says that it's probably caused by FAL.sys, a search on the
net returns little information or nothing useful about the file or
driver. Can you find this file on your server and is there any relevant
information about the file in its properties?

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.
I was suspecting the same driver.

It belongs to an old Legato Networker Disaster Recovery module.
The module was never really used except some testing, but was not properly
uninstalled. There is no uninstaller left, so the only way is to remove the
file physically/ delete it.


Let see if this works.

You should see if you can disable it via the Services management console
or with the SC Config tool, or remove it from its location in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services key. You should
also check to make sure that it isn't a phantom device, if you see it as
a phantom remove it:
