Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Error Messages

If a fatal error (e.g., a STOP or system error) occurs after Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition starts, the screen of
the display unit turns blue and displays detailed error messages.
The screen
background is "blue".
Take notes of the messages displayed on the screen, and call your sales agent.
If a fatal error occurs, the server automatically executes memory dump processing and saves the memory dump data in
an arbitrary directory. (See the end of this chapter) The maintenance personnel of your sales agent may ask you to
provide this data. Thus, copy the file into a medium (e.g., DAT) to be ready to pass it to the maintenance personnel.
IMPORTANT:
A message may appear indicating that virtual memory is insufficient when you restart the system
after a STOP or system error has occurred. Ignore the message and start the system.
If an error such as a stop error of the OS occurs, the normal dump function may run instead of the quick dump
function depending on the system status. However, the memory dump file can be used for failure analysis
equivalent to that of the quick dump function.
TIPS:
Before copying the file into a medium, start the Event Viewer to confirm that the Save Dump event log is
included in the system event logs and the memory dump has been saved.
The following message may be displayed during usage.
"Your system is low on virtual memory. To ensure that Windows runs properly, increase the size of your virtual
memory paging file. For more information, see Help."
When this message is displayed, extend a physical memory following the procedure below.
1.
Add a physical memory
2.
Change the configuration of the paging file (Change more than < physical memory capacity × 1.5 >)
The system also displays a warning message if an internal device or peripheral equipment (e.g., disk, network, or
printer) encounters an error. Take notes of the message, and call your sales agent.
