<div class="IPBDescription">Stops during the load and crashes</div> Here's what the end of the log file looks like for it

This does not happen everytime caged is loaded, but there is one consistency. For the past two days the crashes have occurred at 8:30am and 12:00 noon within seconds of eachother (server remained empty for the entire period). First one is after 3.5 hours of running (server restarts itself at 5am, 2nd time after another 3.5 hours. We were playing on caged earlier today, so the map works. It hasn't cost us too much trouble, as the server restarts HLDS within' a minute. It is odd, and if it can be fixed, by all means I'll fix it.

sounds like you have a program set to run at those times that conflicts with HL, but tbh I wouldn't trust me as far as you caan throw me. Post the server specs plz

I don't remember setting anything to run at those times and "Scheduled Tasks" show nothing in it cept my server restart at 5am. Anywhere else I should look. On the machine I installed the OS, updated it, then installed HL and NS, so the copy is very new.
it's win2k, it could be something stupid like windows update and such, go to you're services section, and stop any services that you don't need running.
after that, check and make sure you have no adminmod scripts or whatnot set to run at certain times.
Server runs at that speed fine running 16 players. As the number of entities rises in the game it does get laggier, but it's still totally playable as there's no loss and response on the server feels good.
[Edit]Just checked the services out, they are all essential windows system apps and three programs that I run in the background, HLDS, Serverdoc, and another one. I've uninstalled the bots, so we'll see how that goes.
