Anatomy of a Server Crash


The Austrian

Recommended Posts

OS Win2k SP2

AMD 1.3GHZ

512MB Ram

Server is set with maxclients 9.

Server is set on gamemode 3 (duel).

 

The server is fired up.

 

It's RAM useage goes up to 30692.

 

As clients slowly come in it comes up to 30696, 30704...

 

CPU hovers around 3-10 percent.

 

Suddenly CPU time spikes to 80, then 99 percent.

 

RAM useage flies up to 38,898 quickly, say in 5 seconds.

 

Server crashes without error message on screen, in server.log or qconsole.log.

 

Once it crashes once, it won't stay up more than 2 minutes. I suspect something is getting corrupted.

 

The only fix I can figure out is to reinstall from the original CD, preserving the .cfg files. It runs fine for awhile after that.

 

Hopefully that might help in diagnosing the problem.
