The Garry's Mod 9 Public server has been crashing like crazy since the change in hardware, I have no idea why it's doing it. It just crashes for no reason, even without serverdoc, so it must be one of the server files or something, as the Counter-Strike: Source server is running fine without crashes. I'm working to fix it and hopefully should have it running alot more stable than it was before.

May sound silly, but...

Have you tried giving the server a good hard thwack?
(Kidding, lol.)

I might just reinstall Windows Server 2003 when I get to work on Monday. I haven't found whats causing it or how to fix it, after like a day of fucking with things.

Good Idea... I think the Window 2003 is high on something

Tomorrow I will be putting in a new 120GB hard drive as the main drive in the server and keeping the 20GB in there now as a secondary. I'm setting everything up on the new hard drive so thats all I have to do is a repair install of Windows and everything will be up and running.

Everything is up and running again, hopefully this should have fixed the problem.

Thanks to my idea of installing and configuring Server 2003 in VMWare the transition was easier.

Still didn't fix the problem... I'm gonna see if I can run it in VMWare for now.

Tomorrow I'll try to take out the stick of 512MB I bought and see if it works, if it does then good, if not I need to get my other motherboard and processor back from Bojangles. Why the fuck does this server have to cause so much hell?

Oh, you DID put memory in it recently?
I was going to suggest checking that, especially if you bought from Newegg, but I figured it would have been on the list of things you were putting in.


Yeah, I've had issues with memory lately. Tried to buy a pair of 2-1Gb sticks from New Egg, and one out of each malfunctioned, only reporting as 512 MB. We assembled one good set from the two, stuck the two defective ones in and sent them back, then had problems with the replacement.

I don't know if that was just that brand, Newegg, or Memory in general these days. Then again, it's also possible you accidentally stuck a stick in the wrong channel.

Just out of curiosity, does a crash on one Gmod9 server crash the other? Or do they crash independently?

The second server isn't even on the same box, the second server is running on Vulpix's server, using his "Comcastic" connection. As a thought, I did happen to buy the RAM from NewEgg, so hopefully it's only a bad stick instead of a bad processor/motherboard.

The temp server that Vulpix is hosting is: 24.131.240.40:27018, for those who want the IP and such.

Thats why I'm avoiding doing that and hoping its the RAM.

Its all fixed! That stick of RAM was fucked. I replaced that shitty stick of 512MB with a good 256MB, so the total RAM in the server is 768MB. I don't want to take the time to RMA it, i might just throw it off the roof or something like that.

Burning is good. Or perhaps some kind of occult ritual.

EDIT: Lol, didn't see next page.


Yay! Teh Rybec saved the day!

(If you do ship it back, Newegg will send you a new one, that might work this time, free of charge.)
(Otherwise, whatever you do with it, record it on video)
(Also, lol @ Reject's case mod.)
