Doug, I have recently had some issues with my mail server and BSOD and corrupted files. What was happening was because of a bad memory stick files were being either written to the drive with errors or not being read back in correctly. This caused errors to be logged in our event log and caused the machine to Blue screen and reboot. I eventually took the machine offline and replaced it for diagnostics and repair.
In my experience with Windows boxes and BSOD I have found they are caused by: 1. Bad, outdated or incompatible drivers. You might look here for your problem as a leaky driver would definitely cause the problem you are describing. 2. Bad memory. It just has to be intermittent. It wont show up on diagnostics it will just fail under load. (These are a real bitch to find) 3. Bad motherboard 4. Bad processors. (Yeah, I've seen this on too. It's the last thing you look for) Each time your machine Blue Screens it should display a message that sort of guides you to what the machine thinks caused the problem. In my case there were several of them but the one that stuck out the most was "Page_fault_in_non-paged_memory". If you would like to take a look at your event logs and post the BSOD message we might be able to determine what is going on. I did read a post someplace about certain motherboards and hyperthreading issues. Not sure if the Xeon proc does that or not. Hope this helps a little Gene Head ACCRAM Inc.

The SE7501WV2 is a $600.00 + Intel Dual Xeon SERVER Motherboard with a Dual Gigabit Server NICs. It is designed for server traffic. This is the same EXACT Onboard NIC in IBM X series and HP Proliant servers. Dell uses the lower cost Broadcom Gigabit NICs. The archives have no references to anything related to Server motherboards only desktop motherboards. It seems to me when people have nothing to say say nothing. In the future I will not reply to the list either and I apologize in advance for doing so. No one needs a post to tell them to do what will not change the situation anyway.

Search the archives. Bottom line, get a solid Server designated NIC.
