Server Stress


Working on a server that has several problems. It has to be back online early Monday. Fragmentation is the worst I've ever seen. Really, it''s a surprise that it even runs. Video is doing strange things and the machine has only PCI slots. The present video adapter is on the mobo and it may have a problem. Out of 9gigs of boot drive space less than a gig is open. Folks, that NOT enough room to build a swap file. The swap file has been doubled and moved to the data drive. It hasn't had the ability to stay running long enough to really find any problems other than those mentioned above. Luckily I have a PCI video card in stock. Remember those jewels? This one is a 3DFX Voodoo 3.

(Later) The video card has been changed. There is some improvement, but it still locks up. Software issue? Yes and over half the RAM is being used at initial start up. Services.msc will be checked. Nobody really cares about all this so I'll stop rambling and go back to work. Cya on Easter!!!
