[QUOTE="greymist, post: 3094369, member: 7113"] Redrobes, I just checked out the Event Viewer...mostly gibberish to me. Things like this after each reboot: Rl'Halsinor, I did write down the STOP numbers: 0x0000007F. The four numbers in the parentheses that followed were all 0's, and the problem is described as an Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap. The MS KB indicates that this is usually a hardware issue. I did manage to get both PCs working today! On the XP machine I simply restored to a point earlier than yesterday's restore, and it worked. On the Win2000 box I am still confused why it is working. When I rebooted the W2000 box, it would get further into the startup than the XP box. My wallpaper would appear, the Quick Launch bar would populate, my desktop icons would appear, and the system tray would start to fill, then BSOD. I figured that something that was auto-starting was causing the problem. I used Mike Lin's Startup to kill Wallmaster and Stickies, and a few other things, and it booted! I immediately ran BitDefender's rootkit detector which found nothing. I then ran rootkit revealer, and I got another BSOD. I rebooted and it started fine. I wonder if there is a rootkit on this machine which is evading detection? I think I will have to reinstall Windows on the 2000 machine for sure, as it has not been done for at least 2 years, maybe 3. The XP box, I will jeep my fingers crossed that it was a bad download on my wife's part, and that it does not happen again!! [/QUOTE]
