I have a server that locks up randomly throughout the day, sometimes as little as 10 minutes apart. There is no particular rhyme or reason. All workstations/terminals get locked out, and the server itself is also locked up, with no error codes on the screen. You are forced to shut it off with the power button.
I re-seated everything - no help. The CPU fan, and all fans are ok.
Does anyone know any common problem with this model? Or a common cause for this kind of thing?

I could see if there are any known issues for ya, as I'm at work right now and am a gateway tech support guy.. one minute

ISSUE NUMBER: 766600630 (1-641134607)

Systems and Cases: 3501277, 3501327
Rack Mounts: 3501278, 3501328, 3501408, 3501410
Motherboards: 4000791OPERATING SYSTEMS AFFECTED: Linux
CAUSE: The cause is unknown at this time.
