I hope this is the right newsgroup to post to. I've got Windows 2000
Server installed on a computer here and I keep getting the following
error message:
"Windows System Error: Unknown Hard Error"
Once that happens the computer won't do anything any longer, I can't reset
it, I can't switch it off, nothing, nada, nichts - I have to pull the plug.
It's quite disturbing in particular since I can't figure out what the
problem is. I'd be immensely grateful for tips/tricks on what to do and how
to locate and solve the problem!

Thanks,
Joerg
 
PS: Let me just add that I don't get the error when I start up the computer.
Instead, it seems to show up when the computer is idle for a long time (a
few hours or days).
 
Check Event Viewer for errors.
