tcngs Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I have a dual 2.8ghz 1gb of ram 2 18gb 10,000 rmp SCSI IBM server that I am having trouble with. It currently only has 1gb of ram because the memory I bought for it was bad and I had to send it back. When the bad memory was in it it would shut down because the memory would over heat and lock up. I took out the bad memory and put in the IBM memory that came with it. It was working fine for a few days after that. now about every 4 to 6 hours the machine will shut off again. I have been looking throught the event viewer and cannot find anything that may tell me what is happening. Any one have any suggestions or tools that may help me figure this out? I really really need help fast on this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Sounds like a bad motherboard maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcngs Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 You think there is a possibility that since there is only 1gb of mem I could be overloading it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalyse Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Are you sure its the memory? Have you tried removing a processor and testing with a single one? I had similar symptons on one of my boxes and found out that it was a heating problem on the processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcngs Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 No I have not tried that, when you where having your issues did you have any thing showing in your event viewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jissh Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Heat, PSU voltage irregularities, MB Those are the most common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yea like kalyse said, remove processor 2 and its heat sink of course and try booting the machine up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I had a similiar problem once but it was a multi pron;em first there was slightly too much heatsick compound on the heastsink that pushed its wat to the pins. One cpu was running a lot hotter than the other i cleaned it up replaced fixed that problem. The next ussie was with the memory it detected fine and ran but would randomly shuut down to the blue screen of death at random times it even passed the memory check. If its a memory problem I've learned way too many times just dont go out and order memory make sure you go to the manufacturers site and make sure you buy the exact model chip for that motherboard. Memory issues can do some strange stuff and really hard to pinpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
