Help
We've got a tiny lan of win98 machines with one win2k machine acting as server. This machine suddenly goes down, switches itself off, after work after staying up fine all day.
then if someone comes in and restarts it it'll only stay up for maybe an hour.
I'd think there must be some problem with the power but the lan manager reckons no and it's true that when you restart the machine it comes up without any of that 'must scan the disk' business that you get when a machine goes down because of a power out.
Any suggestions at all will be carefully listened to...

Disks only get scanned if they are FAT32. NTFS drives aren't usually Chkdsked on bootup after a bad shutdown.

Might seem stupid but i had a similar problem with an NT4 Server turn out the procesor fan was on its way out and the cpu was getting to hot and the server was shut down by the motherboard protecting its self
