I have a win2000 sever with 256ram running that constantly freezes with a black screen as the result.. you can hear the hd "crunching". i checked the event viewer and the last thing that happened was:

The Network Address Translator (NAT) was unable to request an operation of the kernel-mode translation module. This may indicate misconfiguration, insufficient resources, or an internal error. The data is the error code.

any help would be great.

Diagnose your Hardware.
If you are running a SCSI HDD go into the SCSI bios and run a Verify Disk Media on the Drive, I had a NT server with the strangest errors that had 1 bad sector on the drive that was causing all of the problems.

You say the HD was "Crunching", Well I just repaired a customer's computer who's HD was making noise and reporting constant freezing and locking up. I ran every diagnostic program I had on the HD but no problems were reported. I downloaded the Hardrive manufactor's diagnostic program (Western Digital) and sure enough the hardrive was defective. I suggest doing the same with your hardrive... Hope this helps....

Once the hdd tried to repeatedly read/write from a certain sector on the hdd, and it sounds like it is doing so in a repeating pattern... then that means that your hdd may be forming a bad area in that spot.

Do a complete backup, then run a scandisk with surface scan and if started finding and marking sectors as bad... replace that drive!
