I have a win2k server,512mb ram,3*9gb scsi disks,

an error "0B5F : forced to use the processor with error" comes during booting after the smbios initialise

i just run oracle,sql server and not any domain controller...

the system dumps every 20 minutes..

thought it was a virus...had a full virus check..but none

later today i took back up and reinstalled every thing after thorough format.during saving the settings the server dumped again..

give me some ideas...some friends said it was due to ineffective drivers...but there was nothing during installation..or later.

and one more thing ..the scsi drives get too hot if the AC is down even for some time.

plz help me out of this.is it a problem with scsi drives,or with some thing else.should i replace some thing..

plz reply soon

I really don't have a clue other than you are experiencing heat related problems. As far as your memory dumps are concerned. I would remove all non essential peripherals and see if you get the memory dumps. If you don't then add one piece of hardware and then test.

Example
(Let's say that if you add the network card and then when you test it you find that now you are getting memory dumps. You have now isolated the problem to being the NIC.)

sorry for the delayed reply...

the reinstall was a difficult one but now the server is working fine
like you said i removed the dat drive which we use only on week ends and look it did not dump the whole day....
but what is the use of the server if i cannot put all the needed components

I have another doubt...later yesterday i replaced my scsi drives with a hdd...but the server refused to accept that there is an operating systrem in it.i could not even boot from the hdd.

You might check to see if there are any updates or patches for that piece of hardware.
