HI to all that are having problems with win2k.

The first think to remember is that the event viewer is a very good tool to figure out whats happening to a system.

right click on My Computer > manager > Event viewer.

From there any warning, error, or system info can be seen. A good resource then to figure out the correct method to repair is www.eventid.net

If the system starts to write a dump of an error let it, then look at the drwtsn32.log located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\DrWatson

If you just installed a program or up dated some software look at the install.log to make sure that there werent any errors

Well new via drivers are a cure to much. I think there is a bit of problems with the new gforce drivers. But without info on systems its hard to help

They are a cure for a bug. A big one. It is even noticable on windows so the bug is quite big

Might be the: "ATi are absolutely forbidden from making good 2000 drivers" (touch wood I haven't suffered a crash recently but I have been avoiding anything 3D)

Braxxus, we need more info on what your computer is otherwise we're all guessing like mad when there are about a million things that might cause your problem.

I had the same problem of win 2k locking up on me. I found two things that helped me out alot. I added better case fans to make sure my case was not over heating. And i changed Dram clock to 100MHz from 133MHz .I was using a Soyo Dragon+ mobo and the Dram change was what the company recommended and it seems to have worked.
