More Server Crash Saga

[Derek Ragona]

Grant,

That is a one unit rack mount server, which makes it prone to have heat 
problems, particularly under any load.  You might want to check the ambient 
heat and the internal heat sensors as well.

That server uses an intel chipset (and probably an intel motherboard) which 
should allow "out-of-band" monitoring.  You should see what you can use to 
monitor the system and see what the system is reporting prior to a lockup.

It may be time to just call dell and have them send a replacement MB or 
entire unit.
