LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature. To work around the issue, you must restart the Windows Remote Management service on the affected Windows Server based servers or on the affected Windows Vista-based computers. Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

There is also a possibility that someone has misconfigured BIOS settings so it is worth checking those against the Server manufacturer's recommendations for the type and quantity of RAM that is installed just to be certain. In the couple of years I've seen failures in two separate batches of servers out of about 50 both of which were manufacturing quality control issues IMO so I wouldn't be at all surprised if you were seeing this as a result of a defect.
The original Memtest86 is still out there but isn't up to snuff for testing current generation hardware with lots of RAM. Sign up to join this community.

I've never seen a drive spin up issue cause a problem precisely like this but it certainly seems plausible. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. This can be caused by faulty memory sticks, motherboard faults, and driver issues.
Significant changes were made to Windows Server to reduce the probability that these architectural limits will in fact be reached in practice. For example, some processes that were in the kernel were moved to non-kernel processes to reduce the memory used in the shared virtual address space. Performance Monitor is the principle tool for monitoring system performance and for identifying the location of the bottleneck. Here is a summary of some important counters and what they tell you:.
This shows how many bytes were allocated by processes and to which the operating system has committed a RAM page frame or a page slot in the pagefile or perhaps both. As Committed Bytes grows greater than the available RAM, paging will increase, and the pagefile size that is being used will also increase.
At some point, paging activity starts to significantly affect performance. This value is always a multiple of 4,, which is the page size that is used in Windows. As demand for virtual memory increases beyond the available RAM, the operating system adjusts how much of a process's virtual memory is in its Working Set to optimize available RAM usage and minimize paging. Use this counter to determine whether the pagefile is an appropriate size. If this counter reaches , the pagefile is full, and things will stop working.
Depending on the volatility of your workload, you probably want the pagefile large enough so that it is no more than percent used. If much of the pagefile is being used, having more than one on different physical disks, may improve performance. A high value for this counter does not necessarily imply that your performance bottleneck stems from a shortage of RAM.
The operating system uses the paging system for purposes other than swapping pages because of memory over-commitment. This is the best counter to monitor if you suspect that paging is your performance bottleneck.
The sum of these counters is a measure of how much of the 2 GB of the shared part of the 4-GB virtual address space is actually being used. Starting with SQL Server This change provided a more accurate sizing ability for all memory requirements that go through the SQL Server memory manager. This is because starting in SQL Server These changes apply to both bit and bit versions of SQL Server The following table indicates whether a specific type of memory allocation is controlled by the max server memory MB and min server memory MB configuration options:.
If there is insufficient contiguous free memory to meet the demand of multi-page memory requests more than 8 KB because of memory fragmentation, SQL Server can perform over-commitment instead of rejecting the memory request. As soon as this allocation is performed, the Resource Monitor background task starts to signal all memory consumers to release the allocated memory, and tries to bring the Total Server Memory KB value below the Target Server Memory KB specification.
Therefore, SQL Server memory usage could briefly exceed the max server memory setting. To override the default value, use the SQL Server -g startup parameter. Refer to the documentation page on Database Engine Service Startup Options for information on the -g startup parameter. Because starting with SQL Server Except for this change, everything else remains the same with this configuration option. The default memory management behavior of the SQL Server Database Engine is to acquire as much memory as it needs without creating a memory shortage on the system.
When SQL Server is using memory dynamically, it queries the system periodically to determine the amount of free memory. Maintaining this free memory prevents the operating system OS from paging. If more memory is free, SQL Server may allocate more memory.
SQL Server adds memory only when its workload requires more memory; a server at rest does not increase the size of its virtual address space. Max server memory controls the SQL Server memory allocation, compile memory, all caches including the buffer pool , query execution memory grants , lock manager memory , and CLR 1 memory essentially any memory clerk found in sys.
Memory for thread stacks 1 , CLR 2 , extended procedure. SQL Server stack sizes are as follows:. When SQL Server starts, it computes the size of virtual address space for the buffer pool based on a number of parameters such as amount of physical memory on the system, number of server threads and various startup parameters.
SQL Server reserves the computed amount of its process virtual address space for the buffer pool, but it acquires commits only the required amount of physical memory for the current load. The instance then continues to acquire memory as needed to support the workload.
As more users connect and run queries, SQL Server acquires more physical memory on demand. A SQL Server instance continues to acquire physical memory until it either reaches its max server memory allocation target or the OS indicates there is no longer an excess of free memory; it frees memory when it has more than the min server memory setting, and the OS indicates that there is a shortage of free memory.
As other applications are started on a computer running an instance of SQL Server, they consume memory and the amount of free physical memory drops below the SQL Server target. The instance of SQL Server adjusts its memory consumption. If another application is stopped and more memory becomes available, the instance of SQL Server increases the size of its memory allocation. SQL Server can free and acquire several megabytes of memory each second, allowing it to quickly adjust to memory allocation changes.
The min server memory and max server memory configuration options establish upper and lower limits to the amount of memory used by the buffer pool and other caches of the Database Engine.
The buffer pool does not immediately acquire the amount of memory specified in min server memory. The buffer pool starts with only the memory required to initialize. The buffer pool does not free any of the acquired memory until it reaches the amount specified in min server memory. Once min server memory is reached, the buffer pool then uses the standard algorithm to acquire and free memory as needed.
The only difference is that the buffer pool never drops its memory allocation below the level specified in min server memory, and never acquires more memory than the level specified in max server memory.
SQL Server as a process acquires more memory than specified by max server memory option. Both internal and external components can allocate memory outside of the buffer pool, which consumes additional memory, but the memory allocated to the buffer pool usually still represents the largest portion of memory consumed by SQL Server.
The amount of memory acquired by the SQL Server Database Engine is entirely dependent on the workload placed on the instance. A SQL Server instance that is not processing many requests may never reach min server memory. If the same value is specified for both min server memory and max server memory, then once the memory allocated to the SQL Server Database Engine reaches that value, the SQL Server Database Engine stops dynamically freeing and acquiring memory for the buffer pool.
If an instance of SQL Server is running on a computer where other applications are frequently stopped or started, the allocation and deallocation of memory by the instance of SQL Server may slow the startup times of other applications. Also, if SQL Server is one of several server applications running on a single computer, the system administrators may need to control the amount of memory allocated to SQL Server.
In these cases, you can use the min server memory and max server memory options to control how much memory SQL Server can use. The min server memory and max server memory options are specified in megabytes. For more information including recommendations on how to set these memory configurations, see Server Memory Configuration Options. The following list describes the approximate amount of memory used by different objects in SQL Server.
The amounts listed are estimates and can vary depending on the environment and how objects are created:.
