Ron_Jeremy 0 Posted October 6, 2001 Anyone seen this error before? I got this error with a timer ticking down (from 60 seconds I think) telling me Windows is gonna shut down & I better close all my stuff. Well I couldn't close anything 'cause Explorer.exe had already bit the bullet & only thing I could see was this stupid prompt.Here's my system stats: I have 2 1/2 year old 300w power supply ABIT BF6 + 850 Celeron/384MB TNT2/32 Adaptec 29160 SCSI card Disk 0: Quantum 10KII SCSI = very new [C:\; D:\; E:\;] (Win2K\Programs\etc) Disk 2: Quantum Atlas II SCSI = old drive [G:\] (Driver storage) Disk 1: Quantum Atlas I SCSI = 7 years old [F:\] (Swap File = 384MB) Maxtor ATA33 Primary master = 1 year old & hardly ever used Toshiba DVD Primary slave LG CDRW Secondary Master I had no problems with this set up, although I did install the Maxtor Primary master only yesterday (I double checked all jumpers). I formatted this disk within Win2K's disk management program & had no probs doing so. While surfing the Web I started hearing one of my drives continually spin up then spin down, & it wouldn't stop even if i closed all programs. I believe it was the Maxtor IDE disk because I could see the disk activity light was constantly on. Then I saw the "System is Shutting Down" error before the system shut itself down. Upon rebooting, I lost the Maxtor & Toshiba in the BIOS scan. If I unplugged the Maxtor the Toshiba would show in BIOS scan. Eventuall after a few reboots they are both showing. The Event System Log was full of hundreds of entries of this same error: Event Type: Warning Event Source: Disk Event Category: None Event ID: 51 Date: 10/6/2001 Time: 7:03:08 AM User: N/A Computer: 2KSERVER Description: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.

Is the SCSI disk with Swap File on it about to take a dirt nap, or maybe you think the power supply is overloaded? Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted October 7, 2001 I noticed that you said it displayed this message while surfing the web. If so someone could be remotely shutting down your machine. Are you running any firewall/Antivirus software? Tick anyone off lately? Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted October 7, 2001 Ouch! That sounds like a probable suspect though. Usually I just use "NETSEND" to annoy people, but hell "SHUTDOWN" can be entertaining at times too... Share this post Link to post
DrPizza 0 Posted October 10, 2001 That counter appears when you terminate certain core Win2K programs (LSASS springs to mind). Share this post Link to post

Kieran 0 Posted October 28, 2001 I had a very similar problem with a maxtor h/d after i put W2k, with it starting spining up and down, disk errors etc. So i eventually unloaded w2k (after trying all the updates), put 98 back on , and same problem. Lots of people replied to my postings about my problem saying my drive was on its way out (it wasn't even a year old), but i wasnt convinced. However, what i had done just b4 i installed W2k, was upgrade my memory, and coz of my board layout, i disconnected the ide lead temporarily, then put it back. So i figured maybe i had pulled the lead a bit too hard, just enough to create a bad connection, so i whipped it out, and resqueezed the plastic connector where the cable goes thru the insulation displacing connections, in the hope of making a decent connection. Did it work...yep, not had the problem since...YIPPEE!!!!! Share this post Link to post
