    Unhappy boot up problems...please help

    Someone please help me...i need to fix this urgently.
    i have been running my machine with win2k for a couple of months now, and yesterday, it spontaneously stopped booting into windows. well, i reinstalled win2k pro...which didnt' work. i started getting blue screens of death and restarts after the "starting windows" black screen with status bar. so i reformatted, and everything went fine. this morning, i started up my machine and it's doing the same thing. i've reformatted 3 times, with a reinstall of win2k. at this point, it gets to the graphical "starting windows 2000 screen" but the status bar with the blue status units does NOT go past blank...the blue strip that is supposed to move during the entire boot process remains idle.

    Someone on another forum responded with this:
    I've had a similar problem on some various Athlon mobo's, found out that the AGP drivers were experiencing some corruption in win2k-found a fix for this at www.windrivers.com, don't remember exactly where. Hope this helps.

    Anyway, if anyone could help (with either the link or the problem in general) it will be MUCH MUCH appreciated. Thanks alot.

    Anyone? Could it be harddrive related? BIOS related?

    Might be the sound card. Can you get into safemode? I just had problems with my win2k with my live card. had to do some major driver forcing to get the os to boot again.

    i had this problem and found that i had to disable USB in the BIOS because the VIA chip was not supported by Win2000.
