Could be a bad RAM module or two. Try pulling the modules one at a time and test to see what happens. Perhaps the CPU is overheating. Might want to monitor it and the fan or fans on the CPU.<br />

hi,<br />
may number of page faults at a great extent cause a slow down on cpu? i noticed that microsoft sql(2000) service manager caused more than 10 million page faults while cpu loads seem normal(with a 54 days of server uptime). is it normal? as i restart the service manager cpu get relaxed and responsiveness improved. i need some comprehensive information on paging mechanism of nt kernel to explain this. i'm looking for your comments. <br />
thanks

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
