Sharepoint 2007 server keeps freezing

Since last week every night my SharePoint virtual machine (sitting on our SP server)keeps freezing. I am locked and cannot restart and we have to restart the server by a hard reset each morning. I am seeing the following 3 event ID's the my event log and it fills the log every minute. I think this is the cause, but not sure what event exactly they are being logged from:

Event ID 7076- Office SharePoint Server- An exception occurred while executing the application server admin job.

Event ID 6482- Office SharePoint Server- The application server admin job failed.

Event ID- Windows SharePoint Services 3- the execute method of job definition.

See attached file for more details. I googled but nothing is very specific.

The logs seem to mostly reference the following processes: owstimer.exe and w3wp.exe.

Do you want me to attach one? They basically seem to represent the same info in event log.

Jamie McAllister

Please attach one. I don't have anything to go on without a bit more info.

Here are two relatively small ones from two different dates
ARES-20150109-2044.log

Nothing leaps out there. I'll ponder what else can be investigated.

Do you think this could cause the virtual SharePoint server to freeze?

Jamie McAllister

Here's a little food for thought based on others Freeze experiences. I suggest you examine each option to rule them out;

i would disable the timer jobs which are failing to as the starting point, it would be nice if you can check the time when the server start to freeze, it might be a timerjob or a task scheduler that is causing issues
