I have Win2k3 OS server. PowerEdge SC420. Past few months we have been having these freezes, which need a hardkill and reboot.
I have done the following
a. CheckDisk on all the drives.
b. Defragged all the drives.
c. Ran the Anti Virus
d. Increased the memory by 2 GB
e. Has two built in fans for 1. Power Supply 2. Motherboard Heat sink. 3. A Cooling fan.

Do you folks any idea why the server is freezing.
