currently we are running sql server 2000 on a 1 quad core cpu server with 4 GB ram, the SQL SERVER service will terminate suprisingly every now and then, although the server will still be running fine, we usually reboot to resolve issue... does anyone know why this could be cause or any suggestions on things to check?its very strange because it is a new server (1 month new) |

When sql server Fails.The server locks due to SQL and when we restart we have to disable SQL databases, else it will just lockup again,The SQL log has nothing in it,Windows Events has nothing in it, |

Any Triggers / SPRocs / etc. calling COM objects or similar? (Although Bad Code in this regard normally results in a Memory Dump file, which will be in the SQL Log folder)Kristen |

When a service terminates unexpectedly, there will be events in Event Viewer associated with it. Are you positive that there aren't any events in either the Application Log or the System Log in Event Viewer on this failed service? If there aren't any events, then you need to contact Microsoft. If there are events, then we can most likely help you.Tara Kizerhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

Someone or something is initiating a stop of the service.When it is unexpected, you won't see that message in the SQL Server Error Log.Tara Kizerhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

my mistake ive checked with team member, and it looks like that message is occuring after reboot by himself which is done in order to restart jobs etc...so this error occurs after reboot and not the cause of reboot |

It isn't an error. Things in the SQL Server Error Log are not necessarily errors. They can be informational messages too.Ask your team member what the actual problem is so that we can help you with this. Rebooting is not the answer.Tara Kizerhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

At the start of the thread, you start the service is terminating unexpectedly. We learned that it wasn't true based upon the messages in the SQL Server Error Log. The service is terminating as a result of a stop. So please explain exactly what the problem is, so we know how to help you.Tara Kizerhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
