Spontanious restarts and lock-ups VERY often.
Hi guys! Well, seems nobody has the same problems with win2k as I have. Every now and then the system totally dies on me (immediate restart or lock-up, approx. 2-3 times a day). Could happen when I'm in Win2k Help, downloading mails, pressing start button directly after boot-up, etc, etc.

I'm about to give up. System specs:
PII-450
Live! Value (default driver)
Asus V6600 (3.76 driver)
Creative CD4834E (48X, default driver)
US Robotics V90 Flash ext. modem (default driver)
Very little software installed. That's about it. Help would be VERY appreciated!

Hi,
Make sure you use the Nvidia 3.66 drivers the others seem unstable. I put those on and everything went okay.

To get rid of the restarts:
disable "reset on system failure" in Control Panel-> System -> Advanced ->Startup and Recovery
this feature lets win2k reboot with every bluescreen and you wont be able to see what application caused the crash
if u are using AVP Antivirus - the System Service installed by AVP 1.31 makes a bluescreen while scanning some files (its not the AVP monitor but an avp system service thats being installed even if u dont use the avp monitor)
To get rid of the lockups:
use the nvidia 3.66 beta driver - it seems to be the only reliable nvidia driver yet
