blank screen after login

We have 2 HP DL580 G5 windows 2003 R2 SP2 Enterprise, that are having this problem. If we login to the server after it has been running for 10+ hours we get a blank screen after our login prompts are entered. we cannot access the server with RDP or local login. we have to reboot the system to get it work correctly and then it only works for another 10+ hours before it happenes again. any ideas?

HP has had reinstall the network drivers and disable RSS and TCP Offload in the registry.

None of these have worked for us.

appears to only affect x32 version we are running windows 2003 R2 SP2 x64.

We do how ever have those NIC's in the servers.

we have a NC373i teamed with a NC360T

I was told by HP proliant support not to apply the hotfix but I could apply the registry entries whic I had done but this didn't help our blank screen after login issue.

hi

let me see when you say you login to the server you mean locally

you enter user/pass and after that a black screen? like that? or you mean using RDP?

the other things are up to date? proliant support pack 8.0 and FW CD 8.1

Didn't your momma teach you to say thanks!

Re: blank screen after login

Yes, both login on locally, through ILO, and RDP all have same results.

This didn't happen until I upgraded all the firmware from 8.1 and updated to Smart Start 8.0.

I tried to downgrade and didn't fix anything so I updated and verified all drivers, still no good.

So I just want to be confident that we won├в t have same issues if we rebuild from scratch and try reapplying the FW 8.1 and SS8.0 again.
