Funny one this; just want to see if you'll think it might be same cause as me. (I'm at work so cannot actually try this until later).
System:
Gigabyte 8VM800M-RZ s478 motherboard
Pentium 4 Prescott 3.0
Two PC2700 512MB RAM (running async at this speed)
Boot drive array RAID 3 on XFX Revo 3-port SATA raid card (3 Samsung 40gb)
Storage RAID 5 array with redundant drive on Promise SX4000 w/ 256 RAM (4 WD 200gb)
Tagan 480W PSU
D-Link Giga LAN card
On-board graphics
Windows Server 2003 Standard 5 Cal all updates
No extra software install - used as a file server only
A week or so ago it wouldnt restart at all - started to boot and wouldnt even display the POST screen, although stayed powered on. Thought it might be a sub standard PSU (Had a 500W Jeantech at the time). I removed the PSU and put in a spare Tagan 480W I had. All seemed well.
Now 50-75% of the time it freezes during the Windows Server 2003 screen for no apparant reason. Both Raid arrays are fully functional. It even freezes during a Safe Mode boot.
It didnt exhibit this behaviour before I install the D-Link card (on board LAN is one 10/100 and I have a gigabit switch with rest of home computers all with onboard 10/100/1000 LAN). Also could it the RAM?
