There's nothing that CVSNT could do to cause that as it runs in
userspace - it sounds like a hardware fault.  As this is a new server
I recommend running memtest86 on it for 24 hours at least and possibly
even the windows stress test utility if you can find it (I think it's
part of MSDN somewhere).
