SQL server reboots my windows 2000 machine

[Dinesh Garg]

Hi,

I am facing one more problem. As soon as i started the sql server first
time, my windows 2000 machine reboots and i was not able to start sql server
again. I had to uninstall and install again and this process repeats. Do
anyone has idea about what is happening ??

Thanks a lot,

Well, just a blind guess since you didn't provide any system config info, or
network config info.

Either you have bad RAM, or you are running an unpatched box exposed to the
internet, and its getting hit with every worm/virus out there, causing it to
reboot...

Other than that, I have never seen an otherwise working machine just reboot
as soon as the SQL Service is started

I've only seen this with pcAnywhere remote accessing SQL Server running
as HOST. Reboots SQL server upon attempted connection.
