Hi,

occasionaly i get Win2000 stoping with a blue screen with 0x000000A or 0x000000C2 which points to ntoskrnl.exe.
MS says to reinstall HW and Drivers blabla...
I do not know which drivers or HW this can cause, since the Maschin is new installed and there are all HW et once and hundrets of programs just new installed.
The console doesnt help, since it is nothing there which points to what causes it and the kernel-dump i cannot read.

So here my questions:
a) is there an easy way to run any program which could identify any bugious part in the installation
b) do you know of any 'monitoring' program that can run in the background to monitor the system
c) do you know where i could read up on Blue Screen FAQs or experiances from others.

thanks
peter

you can first check the microsoft site knowledge base:
http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/c.asp

I found two quick articles by searching for "blue screen info". That yielded 200 possibilities, but two that you should start with are Q129845 and Q192463:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q129/8/45.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=blue%20screen%20info&rnk=5&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=WIN2000
and

You might see if there is a trial version of bugsolver, from Tek Insight. (bugsolver.com)
I understand that this program is used for what you are looking to do, mopnitor the system and locate the errant drivers/programs.
