So far today I've had no shutdowns, yesterday was awful with several shutdowns during the day and night. If it survives the night as well then I'll have to live with the added noise until I get network in the basement and can move the server down. According to the event viewer in windows the server stopped responding (not shuttdown down, just hangs and there are no more entries in the log until I reboot). This happened about 02:41 at night at which the backups are done long ago (they start at 22 and only takes about an hour or so).

Have you tried the MSS fan add-in by Alex Kuretz for your heat issues ? You can set it to keep the temp a few degrees cooler. http://www.whsplus.com/2009/04/07/mss-fan-control/ As you wrote, moving it to the basement will help. Maybe it's shutting down over night if you have the backup running at night, and the added CPU cycle is causing the temp to go up.

But I've upgraded the bios and I'm ready for dual-core if this CPU is giving me problems. I've had a couple of unexpected shutdowns, but I think they might be due to heating issues. It's very warm these days (30C room temperature) and that does not help the poor server. The strange thing is that the server shuts down at night when no-one is using it. I'm moving the server to the basement where it's cooler later. I've also started logging temperatures to see what they are on the next shutdown. Thanks for the tip though.

I just wanted to point out that if you decide to install the HP 2.5 update hack, you might run into problems with that CPU, other have had problems with the LE-1640 and have opted for the BE-2300, or if your lucky to get the 3800+ EFF.
