As title suggests I am stuck.

 I have a headless server that runs windows home server up in the loft and it keeps restarting at what seems to be random times. I only notice it when I am streaming movies from it but it appears to do it even when its sitting idle and its begining to get quite annoying.

first I thought it may be the PSU was on its way out but I have swapped it for a known working one and its still doing it.

It doesnt appear to be an overheating issue either as temps are well with in normal limits.

I have removed 2 of the older HDD's to see if they are causing an issue but i doubt it as HD tune says they are ok.

It has been running almost 24/7 for the last 18 months but I would expect the mobo/cpu to have a longer lifespan than that

Any other ideas are welcome cause its lost on me

My money is on a memory problem.
Can you run it with one stick for a bit?

..also, is there anything in the event logs?
