I have MS VS 2005 running on two machines with W2003 servers as a host OS.
Both VS crashing host server at least once a day. All drivers are up to date

Servers: HP Proliant DL 380, 4G RAM, 2xCPU and IBM eServer xSeries 300
(8672-5xx, 6xx, 8xx) with 1.5G RAM, 1xCPU

Does anyone experiencing same or similar problem?

Thanks,

Can you report in detail what the "crash" says? How do you know VS2005 is
causing the "crash" and not some HP/IBM HW driver?

I don't see any other message except "The previous system shutdown at
9:08:35 AM on xx/xx/2004 was unexpected"
HP is a new system and i don't expect it to be crashing. It has been running
for some time before VS installation and has never crashed

Thanks
John

You need to change the System recovery settings to not automatically
restart on a system failure - then you will be able to see the contents
of the blue screen.
