To avoid the nice picture this Basic explanation...just filled it in to please the admin...

What is happening? Well since monday I installed on my server cspromod , the 1 and only thing that changed the past months, clean install in separate directory...ran fine, monday evening the "fun" started.
The server crashed since at least 2 times a day or more as today we are at the 6th crash...and the crashes occur even when the server is EMPTY...

Eventviewer gives me this info:

Have you turned DEP off?

Yes it is in this sense: you can choose between "turn on DEP for windows essential services en programs only

and "turn on DEP for ALL programs and services"

On my server it is the first complete off is not possible I think

[lol554]

If im right, you can't choose the first option? That sounds a bit wierd.

If i have been understanding you the right way, the gameserver is crashing the physical server ?

[R@ndom]

the first option is chosen , no problem(it took a reboot)

and yes: the GAME server goes down and the whole physical server goes with it

[lol554]

I suppose that the server is getting a bluescreen? If so, try to find the dump files, and post it here

[R@ndom]

kinda difficult, this server is in a datacenter, never been actually on it while it crashed, i work or change things on it through remote desktop.

the eventviewer geices the info like in the forst post, it has something to do with srcds.exe

Faulting application srcds.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x444d93d2, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03824, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0002fb0a, process id 0xd5c, application start time 0x01caa677bb76933f.

[lol554]

Do you have HPET enabled?

[R@ndom]

mobo = Asus P5BV-c as far as I can find the manual isn't saying anything about HPET, and the High Precision Event Timer should be enabled in the bios where I can't find anything about it...guess this board does not support it.

Change the startup line to:

Code:

C:\War1\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 13 +map de_dust2 -tickrate 100 -port 27015 +fps_max 600 +exec server.cfg

dude , with all due respect, please read ALL the posts in the thread :

QUOTE: kinda difficult, this server is in a datacenter, never been actually on it while it crashed, i work or change things on it through remote desktop. /UNQUOTE

This is a real online server in a datacenter , a so called dedicated server, what you propose or think is a listen server and I think also that the error won't be solved with moving exec server.cfg from the front of the command line to the end...
This is something else...

That's not the only change I made. I have had errors before by putting + instead of -, and vice versa.

As for sebbe, I am not sure the point of your post.

[Mooga]

I'm actually with Beaver on this one... (I'm as shocked as you are)
Your startup line is hacked together in a bad order with obsolete commands. I don't know where people find such commands, but I don't think HL1 uses some of those commands any more...

Try Beaver's line.

Also, I've NEVER seen SRCDS crash a server, and I've been around here for a while. I actually think that fixed line might work.

Also try removing or updating metamod and make sure you are using the correct version.

[R@ndom]

changed it EXACTLY to what Beaver and Mooga like(order of the commands and words) : now the EVENT VIEWER REPORT is still showing this every 17 minutes

INSTALLED METAMOD SOURCE = 1.8.0
