server crashes on user connect (random)

[ced]

hi,
i have a Gmod server at home, and it runs great, except from the fact that it crashes a bit too often >.<
the problem is totally random,
if a user is IN the server (or a number of users) and someone tries to connect (NOT always, sometimes when nobody joined for a while), the server crashes, and serverdoc restarts it.

it's very annoying because my server is used very often, and it happens soo much -.-' .

my server configuration (custom build!):
-P4 @ 4.8GHZ watercooled, with HTT
-2GB RAM
-250GB western digital s-ata
-mobo: MSI neo-2p-XXX (something..)
-internet connection: 2/2,5Mbit upload, 4/5 Mbit down.
-OS: windows server 2003 enterprise.

the HW config is OK, i checked.
comments like "try clocking back" is not usefull, because i tried that.


any help is appreciated!

PS: i included the crash reports. (ALL of them, i dont know for sure which is the correct one, prolly the last. not much reports, i just reinstalled hoping to solve this bug..)

[ced]

no one knows? not even a slight suggestion?

Well I doubt it has many things to do with hardware, unless some RAM is broken/instable.
GMOD is known to crash a lot however some plugins really help increasing those odds.

I'm not in a position to review the crash reports so I can't specifically tell you what's wrong.

PS. Tell the rest of the people that told you to clock it back to stock:
You can overclock anything you like, as long as it's stable it won't change anything other than 1. being faster and 2. the lifetime is much shorter. Any software will run just like on a stock machine (stability) if the clock is stable.

i figured out myself that clocking back was a good option to start with, normally i never ask help on problems because i can solve them myself. but this one is SO weird than i can't figure out what the problem is.
i know that overclocking reduces CPU lifetime, but i think im gonna build a new server as soon as SRCDS gets a decent multi-core support. this P4 is not optimal, but the best i can get for a single-threaded program like SRCDS.
--
anyway, there's a update on the problem, now it also happens when no one is in the server, but there where people in the server. (so a player connects, plays, disconnects, next player connects, crash.)
if anyone knows ANYTHING, it would be very much appreciated by me and the whole schweetbuild crew :-3

Someone told me that the last gmod update broke the game completely...
Can that be the issue?

[ced]

no, my server was actually running at times of the bug lol.
it's probably just a issue with one of the huge collection of addons i have..

that's all of my addons.
see if you see any conflicting ones, or ones that are known to crash servers (nukes are instable, but work because of my high server specs =D)
