I have had that on my other system when it only had 64mg PC100 sdram.

I think your computer might be a little to slow for windows 2000, as much as i belive this should not be so, windows2k is touchy. Give it a little extra and it'll be as solid as a rock. Take a little away and it'sll crash on you.

Before upgradeing the system or installing 98, try borrowing a anouther chip of ram from a freind (64 will do) PC133 (and dont warry about mixing it will be fine)

if the computer dosent crash then you solved your problem. If it dose... then i wouldent know how to help you. I have never run win 2k on anything slower then P3 733 with 64mg ram and even then it crashed. Win2k likes ram even on p3 systems.

what is happening is that your computer is generating a fatal system error. This can be due to a number of things. The fact that you only have 128MB of ram isnt likely the cause, but the RAM could be going south. Also, if the ram is overclocked or set to a higher CAS rating than it is meant to be, you could possibly be getting these errors. That being said, your RAM may very well not be the cause. What you can do to try and troubleshoot the problem is the following...
open up your System in the control panel and select Advanced. Choose startup and recovery. Under the System Failure setting, you can see that the checkbox for auto reboot is what is causing your computer to reboot. Leave those settings alone, but change the one that says Write Debugging Information and choose Complete Memory Dump. As you have 128MB of Ram on your computer, make sure you have a pagefile on your boot partition that is at least 129MB large. You can also see where the Dump file will be created. Next time it happens, view this file and hopefully it can shed some light on your problem. Like i said, the cause can be many things. Good luck.

I have Win2k advanced server running on a 200mhz cyrix cpu with 96 megs of ram. It is bullit proof. I would recommend going into bios and resetting your memory settings to conservative settings and then test your system again. Also, check you cooling fans on the power supply and the cpu and see if they are ok. Overheating will cause the same type of thing to happen. If you have any other memory sticks from other systems try that as well. Do one thing at a time so you can figure out the problem. In other words, do not change out the memory and the go into bios and reset the memory settings.
