Server reset diagnosis help please

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all

In the early hours of the morning the SBS2003 server here reset itself.

It recovered OK but I am wondering if I can narrow down the cause a bit more.

There was a rapid succession of critical events, then the reset. The error
from the event log are at the bottom of the message. I am slowly working
through the messages but if anyone can shed a little more light on any known
causes I would appreciate it as it seems to have literally taken less than a
minute to go from running OK to full reset.

The installation is a base installation of SBS2003r2 premium with all
patches & sps (except W2K3S SP2) but ISA has not been installed yet.

The event logs for the most part are completely uneventful.

BR, John
