NeoRebel Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 The server has been offline for more than 15 hours by now. Does anyone know if something happened? o.o Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malishara Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Server is up, Barry must have rebooted. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barry_1066 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I found the server crashed - not NWN but the OS completely frozen. I rebooted and it ran for an hour and frozen up again. I did a cleanup and defrag and noted some odd spikes where the mouse would freeze up and noted a CPU spike associated with that. I could not find a specific application or processing doing this. At first i was thinking memory (ram) failure but with these clues are am thinking virus infection. I am installing AVG and will run it. If nothing is found i will consider a rescue of data and reinstalling the OS. Something is wrong - the other day i blinked noting the server had run smoothly for nearly 900 hours. This problem has come along after that restart and it could be a network worm - the machine never browses the internet - well except to download AVG but otherwise it is not a browse the internet machine and all it does is serve Annakolia NWN. Please be patient with me - i have no idea how long this will take to trouble shoot and fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barry_1066 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 The sever has run fine for the rest of the night - no indication of what the problem is but a current happy server makes me much happier. Please report any failures - I will keep as close an eye on things as i can but the potential, if it crashes, to go for a number of hours down is there. Nothing can be done by those with remote access since the server machine itself is what is going down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeoRebel Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks, Barry. I'll report if anything odd happens again. Also, if I may suggest, I recommend switching AVG for Avira AntiVir Guard. It's stronger, but not always accurate, be careful. Avira's engine is so intense it borders paranoia. :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
