Hi Hassan
What brand is your server? You can use the server software to check the
logs. For example HP Insight manager contains critical logs that are helpful
for determining these kind of errors.

We have Windows 2003 x64 and our server just go through a restart and the
only thing in the eventlog worth a highlight is

"The previous system shutdown at 2:09:10 AM on 12/16/2007 was unexpected. "

There are no memory dumps as well.

How do we go about finding out whats causing our servers to go through this
unexpected shutdown. No one says they have done anything and its been like 4
times now. They reside in the data center.

I guess I wanted to know what can contribute to such shutdowns. I would
think some bugcheck or something would be out there, but its clean.

Any other possible causes and if not, any other way to trap it the next time
it happens ? Can a power surge do it ? Please let me know.

Thanks
