If there are always different causes, one dump alone one give much to go by. Also, if that is the case, it is often a hardware issue, so I would test the RAM using memtest86+ and the harddisk (if it is a single disk and not a raid array) using the HD manufacturer's diagnostic utility. You'll find both on the UBCD:

If the disks are part of a raid array, you would have to test each HD as a single disk using a non raid controller. Make sure you don't have the server running while a disk is absent.

Hi -
The bugcheck = 0xc2 (0x7,,,) = attempt to free already freed memory;  probable cause listed as the NT Kernel.  Given the fact that the system was up for 5.5 days at BSOD time, NT being erroneously blamed simply b/c there are symbols to ID it, the 3rd parm = 0x0 (pool header contents zeroed indicating the pool may have already been freed),   and seeing drivers of varying age including a very new Kaspersky lead me to believe the BSODs may be software-related.
NT was named as the probable cause because the real culprit - a 3rd party driver probably called by NT -  is hiding under NT's expansive memory range and is not as easily identified as NT is.  The best way to help flush this driver out is to run the Driver Verifier.
If the d/v flags a driver  it will cause a BSOD.  If the flagged driver starts during boot-up, you will not be able to get back into Windows until the driver is dealt with or you restore the system to a time prior to enabling the driver verifier.  Please read over these KBs about the recovery process for Server 2003 as I usually handle Vista & Windows 7 -
Driver Verifier & Server 2003 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251233
D/V info - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617
 
Please bring up a cmd/DOS prompt and follow the instructions in the code box in this post -   http://www.techsupportforum.com/2110308-post3.html

I went through the entire loaded driver listing and found that KIS had the most recent timestamp - April 2009.  I don't know when this update was applied, but it may have precipitated the BSODs.
Other drivers dating back to 2005 are in need of updates - especially Adaptec (RAID), Broadcom Ethernet, ATI Video, etc...  The full list is in the code box below.  There is a good chance that the driver updates will calm the BSODs and the running of the driver verifier unnecessary.
Have a good weekend. . .

Thanks jcgriff2. Actually i have found the solution, but i forgot to close this topic. When i logged in to the server, there's a error message saying something like Maxtor has encountered an error which is mxopswd.sys  has caused the problem. So wat i did was to reinstall the driver for the Maxtor and it has no BSOD after that.  
Question: When you look at the minidump that i provided above, how can you tell which and which is the driver? I see that you have ba7a1000  mxopswd.sys  Thu Apr 07 10:05:23 2005 (42545D23) - Maxtor OneTouch as one of the suspected problem, how do you know?

Hi -
The left number ba7a1000 is the beginning memory address for the driver for that BSOD.  I usually leave that one number there so I can differentiate this particular BSOD from another.  As for the driver itself and how I knew what it was or that it may be involved --- experience that I have been fortunate enough to learn by the processing of >> 100,000 dumps in the last 18 months.  Looking at these dumps so often, I have gotten to know which drivers should normally be there and their dates, those non-MS which are usually OK, and the ones that I have seen that cause BSODs.  Nothing is automated; it is all by eye-balling the drivers.
Not to say that I know anywhere near to everything....  I Google those that I cannot readily identify.  For example, the Adaptec RAID drivers were unfamiliar to me.
I wanted to thank you, too - for including the driver listing via the lmnt command on the debugger.  Most do not.  It helped me because I tend to look at BSODs from the software side first, unless a hardware failure is very evident.  Also, this was the first Server 2003 crash that I worked on as I usually handle Vista and Windows 7 BSODs  at my primary forum
I appreciate you coming back and posting the result.  Please do come back to EE again.
Regards. . .
