Windows 2000 server with SP4 DX 9b, newest nforce drivers from a 2 weeks ago. 1 hard drive one burner, 512 ram @333, barton 2500+ @ 333, nothing else in the machine.
bios settings all set to safe and or default, no overclockage anywhere.

OP
Fixed. It is ATI drivers coupled with another thing. I will splain. There was a system tweak to "enable large system cache" i first saw it in xsetup. It makes a pro workstation use the large system cache that server uses. Well since I installed server, it is enabled by default (its not a tweak for server it is default)
With this setting it caused this problem. When I launched xsetup and disabled it (making my server have a small pro type system cache it fixed.
