Your system is not overclocked, is it? Windows 2000 is more sensitive to "forced" CPU's.

Another cause could be your memory. Make sure your bios settings are fine, and you are not forcing your RAM to work at a too short delay.

it's probably your ram.... you went from a CPU that runs on a 66 MHz bus to one that uses a 100 MHz bus. Make sure that you are using PC100 or PC133 RAM, and if so, try changing the memory-timing settings in the bios

just so you know my cpu is not overclocked and my ram is 100mhz and the bios detects the ram at this speed. I was using the 100mhz ram with my pII 300 though.

ok, but when you were using it with your pII 300 it was only running on a 66 MHz bus. If it is cheap RAM, then memory timings might be the issue. Just try increasing the memory timings (try 3-3-3) and if it doesn't work you can change it back. I bet that's the problem though, as it's happened to me before...

thanks for all your help, my ram is cheap and i was wondering how i would increase my memory timings. is it in the bios and if so which specific keys in the bios?
