BSOD Proliant DL380 G6 (WIndows server 2003 tak support multicore)

Salam 1 Malaysia.

Lokasi: Crown Plaza Mutiara KL

Spesifikasi server :
Intel Xeon Quad Core E5504 2.0GHz
8gig RAM
146 x 6 Hard drive (Raid 5)

Problem : Blue screen of death

Aku guna smartstart untuk configure RAID dan installwindows server 2003. Selepas saje server reboot dalam beberapa minit proses installasi windows berlaku mesej blue screen pon muncul.

At first I tot it was memory problem due to 32-bit windows server 2003 limitation. Then I remove 2 stick 2GB of RAM. Sama gak masalahnya.

Solution :

If the server gets the blue screen at this point (during installing the devices), the issue can be fixed performing the following workaround:

Reboot the machine and get into BIOS.

Go to System Options → Processor Options → Intel Hyper threading . Disable this option.

Go back to Processor Options and choose Core Disabling . Then choose One core .

Save the changes and reboot the server. Continue with the installation as normal.

This server works with multi-core processing and the Microsoft Windows versions that do not come with R2 do not support this feature. After we have the operating system installed, we need to apply the service pack (SP) to the machine in order to enable the previous features we had to disable to continue with the installation. The reason is that now the server has the SP2 installed and the operating system will be able to deal with multi-core processing. Keep in mind that if the behavior is different, that is, the server is not giving you blue screens or is not failing at the installation point mentioned, this workaround may not work. Also remember that this is a workaround process and that the system is supported only on R2
