Our PC that we use as our server turns off by itself about once a week
Hi,
We have a PC that we use as our server with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server (Service Pack 2) installed.
Our Server PC has the following specs:
Operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Version: 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2
Processor: Intel(R) Core 2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80 GHz
RAM: 3.99 GB
System Type: 32-bit operating system
This PC turns off by itself about once a week and it is hard to get it turned back on after it turns off.
Using "Event Viewer" on the PC, an error message says that the PC shutdown was unexpected. (Event ID: 6008)
To get the PC turned back on we usually have to;
1. Take all cables and plugs out from the PC, which includes:
- Power cord, mouse, keyboard, ethernet cable, VGA cable going to PC from display, external hard drive.
2. Take out CMOS battery from PC
3. Hold power button on PC for 30 seconds
4. Plug in power cord only to PC
5. Wait for 30 seconds then press power button on PC
The PC starts turning on. We then do the following:
6. Put CMOS battery back into PC
7. Plug in other cables to PC
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Robbie
