Hi Roger

Download HP Instant Top Tools from this link and have a look at the Hardware Event Log under Status Tab and you it will give you a clue as what hardware is having an issue

Check out the following link and I will think you find that HP don't support any Netservers running Windows 2003 Server

Roger,

The LC 2000 is definitely not supported under Windows 2003, but this does not mean it will not run, just that HP will not support it since they never tested it.

Can you even get to Windows?
If so does it stay in or does it freeze or do you get a black screen ( meaning it dropped out of windows)?

If you cannot even get to windows, are ther any POST error messages?
Can you give us some more detail as to your configuration?

try to use the Hardware Event Log Display utlity at the following;
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/CoreRedirect.jsp?targetPage=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.hp.com%2Fpub%2Fsoftlib%2Fsoftware2%2FCOL3415%2Fns-11635-1%2Folv.exe

This will give you access to the same information as ITT that Kassa had suggested but from a DOS diskette.
