My NT 4 Server keeps rebooting on its own. First time I've had this problem, can you help? Much appreciated.

Look in the event log for a dump file. NT will reboot when something causes a crash. Before rebooting it will create a dump file which can be used to troubleshoot the cause of the crash. Good luck!

How far does it get in the booting process? I had a similar problem with a server of mine..I would get to the blue screen and then it would start over again. It could be a myriad of problems.....

i have the same problem with my laptop. i reboot with ntfsdos, there is only 12MB free space, the pagefile is about 100mb. the last thing i did was installing the new Compaq Insight Manager 4.22, he reclamed that there was not enough space so i dechecked some options. After installing i restarted the machine and.. constant rebooting after showing the blue screen ?!?! Is there a free erdcommander or an ntfsdos that can write and delete on the ntfs partition, so i can make some free space?

sorry my reply about "NT 4.0 Server keeps rebooting" must be '12K' instead of '12MB'

Check your GINA entries in the Registry are not in conflict. Some 3rd party software alters GINA entries which causes NT Server/Workstation to keep rebooting, especially PC Anywhere/Dr Solomons.
E-Mail me if you need further details

Check in the system properties, Startup/Shutdown tab, in the recovery section there is a setting that automaticaly reboots the system after a STOP error occurs. If this does not work... swap out the power supply... it worked for me.
