Asus P5A+Windows 2000+Modem+Connect to the Internet=Reboot

[someone_nt 0]

When I connect to the internet using an external modem (3 com US Robotics 56K), it just reboots my system without even giving me a nice BSOD (note:I've unchecked the automatically reboot on failure checkbox found in System Properties-> Startup and recovery. It still does the same). This reboots vary from 10 to 15 minutes after being online.

 

When I'm lucky enough, a nice BSOD appear s giving me a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, A00000 3xxxxxx win32k.sys.

 

Previously my system crashed when I played 3d games. I installed Ali AGP driver for windows 2000. Now my games work. But my problems with Internet are still present.

 

In an Asus messageboard, sometime ago, I found a user that had a similar problem, but with NT 4.0. Is it a problem of NT architecture? My modem has been working fine under windows 98, Linux and Beos. Why doesn't it work fine?

 

Here are my specs:

-Asus p5a (with BIOS 1010 beta 2)

-creative graphics blaster riva tnt (using creative 5/2000 drivers for windows 2000; and ALI AGP Driver for windows 2000)

-Sound Blaster Live with liveware 2000

-Windows 2000 Pro in ACPI mode.

Hi there,

 

I'm using Win2k on a ASUS P5A with a K6-III/400 and a ASUS-3400 (TNT/16mb) with the nvidia 3.84 drivers WITHOUT the ALI AGP drivers and I DONT have this problem.

 

Though, dialup seems to broken in Win2k. It sometimes "crashes" and won't let me dialup anymore without a reboot, i.e. the dialog box just doesn't come up anymore... really strange and annoying. Usually my modem settings are completely wrecked then ( 38400 bps, no error correction and no compression). So I think there are some bugs in the dialup sw of Win2k.

 

Hope that helps to track down your problem.
