Thanks for the excellent input Ken and Bonnie. I've been researching bugcheck codes and running diagnostics. Found some power supply errors which I corrected and also had a ECC error on Bank 2 Dimm A, first documented on 08/2006. Switched dimms around and immediately produced multiple errors

Two months. That's right, two $*#!!*$ months. Still getting a BSOD on my Trend 8.0 server without generating any .dmp files. I've spent probably 25 hours or so with Trend and MS tech support. Webex sessions, specialists, conference calls, tin foil hats, barking at the moon. Updated BIOS, Perc,

We have been and still are running OS 6.5. Trend no longer supports 6.5. OS 8.0 was installed on a Dell 1850 that has been in the rack running for three years-unused. The initial install of Trend on that server along with Backup Exec agent produced the intermittent reboots. I wiped the server

Just got done dancing with Symantec with a BUE issue. Took me a week of phone and email tag to talk to a tech. I'd email the tech and tell him I'd be in the office until 5 EST. They would then call me at 5:15 time and time again. Once I pressed to speak direct with a tech I was on hold for 22
