Windows Server 2008 stops responding, displays grey screen

Hi, As per the title, one of our 08 Servers intermittently stops responding, users are unable to access network resources and the monitor displays a grey screen -- a cold reboot by holding in the power button resolves the problem but it's happened twice in the last two days.  Any suggestions please?

Check the logs? Check the cables?

What troubleshooting steps have you done already?
I had this very recently on an 03 server. It was the overnight AV scan that was somehow interfering and locking it up. If you have AV on that server and it runs scans on a regular basis, leave the active protection running but disable the scheduled scan(s).
