Start the Windows Event Viewer. When the Teradata DBS restarted, an error event with some diagnostic information should have been recorded in the application event log.

You may be running into the infamous Windows DEP feature. Check out this URL for a detailed explanation of DEP:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352
In order to run Teradata, you will need to disable this feature.
Edit c:\boot.ini, look for "/noexecute=" and change the parameter value after "=" to "alwaysoff". The file should like something like this:
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect

Hello all
(Sorry for the cross-post. Originally posted in Partner Apps forum by mistake).
Getting DBC restarts with fresh install of TDE 12 on Win2003 Server using both "out of the box" and updated (12.0.0.7) ODBC drivers (TDATA.DLL reports "Connection reset by peer").
DBC restarts happen when using BTEQWin, too - just had the database restart on me while executing a select against dbc.columns as a test in BTEQWin (to pinpoint ODBC as the problem). The test failed, so the problem is not necessarily ODBC-related. I seem to get a DBC restart (almost) every time I submit a query, from any client.
Teradata Service Control app. shows TD switching from "Running" to "RESET/STOPTASKS", then going into "START/NETCONFIG" etc... effectively restarting itself after some unexpected failure.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to put it on XP for it to work reliably/at all?
TIA for any guidance.
