Occasionally servers become sick and have boot failures. Some times a boot failure is due to a hardware failure, such as bad memoey, a hard drive failure, or motherboard failure. In these situations, the hardware must be replaced before you can trouble shoot the operating system. In some cases, windows will even have to re-installed. However, there are plenty of situations in which the operating system is not working correctoly due to misconfigurations or other software issue.
