Thanks kyleheath33

from what I was told from a sysadmin

this sql server is a virtual machine on vmware

i do not know that much abour vmware

anyway apparently, the vmware console or master pink screened and took down all the clients

of which my server is one, so thus the crash yesterday

that does not explain why i was getting corruption notices starting on last sat though unless that master was going south at that time.
