Hi,

I have a computer that is used as a webserver in my small NETWORK. what's been happening is that it can freeze or hang by itself and i have to reboot it to get it back to normal. Then, it works for a while and you'd never know when it could hang again. But i noticed that it sometimes happens quite a lot over the weekends. Very weird but true. The trouble is this. Because i installed a private mailserver called merak mailserver on that computer, i can't get any emails until manually having to reboot it.

It's pentium 3 (quite an old one), has a decent memory space(used for mail only), and windows XP Professional.

I have also PC-Cillin antivirus scheduled to run automatically on a daily basis, Microsoft antispyware and ADWARE running automatically on a appropriate timing.

What should i do? is there any way of fixing this apart from getting another new machine?

Thank you for your help in advance and look forward to hearing from you.Have you made any changes to the system before this happened? Do you have maybe too many applications running at once?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Something has changed with the computer of it's setup. Maybe just that mail server, but I suspect it's more. Could you post more details please on precipitating events?You may get a hint by looking in your 'Event VIEWER'.Hi, guys. Thank you for your replies and sorry for getting back to you late.

I don't know exactly what happend to it over the weekend because the mailserver resides at the office. And luckily, my boss lives very nearby. He went to get it reset then it came to work as normal.

He said before resetting it, he noticed the screen was blank and the machine was running because he could see the power LIGHT on. He moved the mouse around but nothing happened on the screen.

By the way, I went and checked the event viewer for the date of 8th oct and the following date up until today, nothing too serious other than getting warning message that read as follows

"The time service has not been able to synchronize the system time for 49152 seconds because none of the time providers has been able to provide a usable time stamp. The system clock is unsynchronized."
SOURCE: W32Time.

I don't think this would be related to the above problem.

Thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you
