This has just started happening to both my computer & that of a friend
just as you described. Sometimes, the old BSOD appears before reboot
but disappears too quickly to read the error info.

Sometimes the "Recovered for serious error" report will say that it wa
an unknown device driver. But I've been running the same configuratio
for many months with zero problems - no new devices added, no ne
software, etc.

At work, I can't install SP4 for Win2K. If I do, the computer crashe
continually, until I uninstall SP4.

Is a badly written "patch" from Microsoft unthinkable??

I think I have tracked down the culprit in my case at least, it
seems,(and I hope) when my PNY g4orce 4600 died from the bad capacitor
deal a few months back, I installed an ATI radeon 64ddr I had laying
around. When I got the new PNY card back from warranty replacement, I
left some drivers behind I guess.

One reason this may NOT be the problem is it puttered along for about
2-3 months after putting the PNY card back with no trouble and bam!

Searching MS knowledge base gets me the identical error and refers to
ATI being the bad actor.

Pretty hard to install the right driver for an ATI card now that I
have the PNY in there. Should I take it out, put the ATI card in,
install the right drivers, then uninstall them, take it out, put the
PNY back INSTALL THOSE SUCKERS, hell typing this crap is tiring me
out.

A lot of messing around just so I can use my c-puter properly.
