i wasn't there when the motherboard was replaced, but the tech called
me to give me an update. He was sent out by Dell and installed the
same motherboard and memory that was in it before under warantee.
Before he came out the problem was different (it would boot up, go
into windows and then when you moved the mouse you would lose video
and the 4 lights on the front would flash in rapid succession)...now,
it will reboot when hitting the startup windows screen (with a very
fast blue screen)...
I don't know if he did an F8 to disable auto restart (my guess is he
didn't) -- i was in the middle of a meeting when he called, so i
didn't ask him what else he tried...his suggestion was that the
problems with things previously corrupted windows (which makes sense
on one level because the company kept doing a hard shutdown since they
lost video -- they did it about 20 times over the course of 4 days) -
by the time i got there yesterday the main profile was saying it was
corrupt when you logged in...so, he suggested getting a new drive and
installing SBS again and pulling the data back....
They really don't have a ton of things on the server -- mostly
Sharepoint Calendar and Quickbooks Corporate. Those are the two
things they are the most worried about.

You say the server is currently "still stuck in a perputal reboot"..
Was it doing this before the motherboard was replaced?
Was the motherboard identical to the original one (same make/model).
When the server begins to boot, have you tried pressing F8 and then
selecting the option for "Disable automatic restrart on system failure" so
that you can determine why it is "blue-screening"?
