I just installed win200 on a standalone computer and it keeps crashing with unexpected_kernal_mode_trap at address 0x0000007f,0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, and then it copies to disk and reboots. What could be the problem. I installed servicepack 2 and ie 6.0. neither helps. Can anyone out there help? Thank you.

Whenever I've had problems like this its always been an incompatible piece of hardware that causes it.

...at least until you can get proper drivers installed for it.

For me, most of the time it's been due to the network card... If you have oneof those, remove it and see if its better or not.

If it is, then download the latest drivers for it, reinstall the card and drivers quickly - my experience is that is doesn't necessarily immediately happen...

Cheers,
Tim.
