Starting early Thursday morning, around 2AM, the server began blue-screening and rebooting. It did this several times Thursday morning until it finally locked up. I discovered this before I left for work at around 8:30AM and rebooted it shortly before 9. Everything seemed fine, until Thursday night when it started again. Friday morning, it continued. By this time, I had rebooted 30 or 40 times, and at some point, the forum database became corrupted. Yesterday (Friday) at noon, I replaced two cooling fans. The CPU fan had a bad bearing and was spinning very slowly. This would not have been a big problem excet that the case fan directly in front of it had seized solid. Thus the CPU was receiving no cooling, and overheated quickly leading to the crashes. Brand new ball-bearing were used, and now everything seems to be fine. In order to get the forum going, I had to restore it from backup taken Wednesday at 2AM. Therefore, all posts from that time until Friday at noon are now lost. Sorry about this, but at least I didn't have to go back to last Sunday's FULL backup. [/quote]    Insert an Image File (GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, ZIP, PNG) Check here to include your profile signature.
