when I shutdown windows server 2003, it flashes a blue screen for a very brief second, and then just restarts. it doesn't do a proper restart. I have checked, and the memory is fine. any ideas? this is a clean install. thanks

It's got to be some kind of kernel glitch related to your hardware that Microsoft has not figured out. Have you tired taking out some of the hardware components one by one? If it is a new installation I'd try to reinstall again with a fresh formated HD. Make sure your computer has the latest BIOS. Finally if all else fails perhaps a simple restart will work without getting the "blue screen of death" and then you power off the computer by hand before Windows loads up again at least this way you have a proper (sevices switced off, log entires made, threads ended etc.) shutdown process. Hope this could be of some assistance. Cheers!
