I've been running Win2k Pro for about a month and its been very stable until a day ago. I was typing an email in Outlook Express and got a BSOD that said "a driver corrupted the memory managment PTE", after which it rebooted. It got into the starting Win2k screen and another BSOD occurred stating "a page error occurred in a non page area -win32k.sys" then rebooted. Now it just reboots over and over, each time with a slightly different BSOD. It will boot up into safe mode ok but everything looks fine. I've tried a new SDram, disabling startup stuff, etc. Once out of 100's of reboots it did finish loading but as soon as I moved the cursor. it got the BSOD and rebooted. At this point I don't know if its hardware or software related. Only recent change was enabling AGP win EPOX's VIAinf patch. I tried disabling AGP but no change. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My system:

I got similar errors after installing WinDVD. The installation failed due to a corrupt file, but it reset the PC anyway and made a mess. The only way to undo it was to re-install.
