Our windows 2003 server crashed unexpectedly, this is the debugged dump created.
I don't understand what to do. Can anyone help me?

Hi Smarthy (we need to get that h out of there )

Thanks for posting both the Minidump and the analysis

Going by just one Minidump, or many even with the same general error.
Can be a bit difficult.

It may be best to confirm the basics on this error

Are all drivers up to date?
Including the computer Bios revision?
Has the Bios been set to defaults?
Have you tested the Ram, or swapped with known working Ram?
Are all Windows updates complete?
Have you tried removing running programs? (such as Antivirus or Firewall)
Are their any other 3rd party programs running?

These questions do not need to be answered here, but this will certainly give you a grounding to start to analyze your issue.

Please reply back for more ideas, or more info on when the crash happens, or logs created, things like that
