Event ID 1 and Source Sentinel

Hello! I have a really bad problem with my win2k machine. I could be doing anything like playing a game, surfing the net, using photoshop or 3dsmax, when all of a sudden my computer freezes and the only thing for it is a reboot.

Hello!
I have a really bad problem with my win2k machine.
I could be doing anything like playing a game, surfing the net, using photoshop or 3dsmax, when all of a sudden my computer freezes and the only thing for it is a reboot. Now, I know my way around computers, but this problem has be both baffled, and annoyed, Especially when I am working on a 3d scene which has taken me 5 hours, only to have the comp freeze, reboot, and find the files corupt. I checked event viewer everytime, and it seems the culprit is the following.

I am only running default out of the box win2k, but am currently downloading SP2, but this might not change anything at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Till next time, seeya.

Thanks again.
 
[edit] Pfffft, no dice. I obviously wasn't crossing my fingers hard enough. Still searching for alternate methods to solve my dilema.[/edit]
