192mb PC 100 ram,
4 harddrives,main IDE is Westerndigital 8gig and no slave
Secondary IDE DVD and CD-RW
SoundblasterLive5.1
ATI All In Wonder Pro 8mb Video Card
Linksys Network Card
Maxtor/Promise ATA100 Controller Card with 3 drives connected to it 30gig Primary/40 gig slave on Primary IDE
60 gig as primary on secondary
USB is also available
Chipset on MB is Via with the Win2k USB Update patch

I will try to catch all the #'s the next time it happens

When you get the exact numbers try running the first set through a knowledge base search. http://support.microsoft.com It's a good place to start.

i had problems with Blue Screens, i solved my problem by turning Disk Performance off.
Type:

diskperf -n

hardware disk performance is on by default in Win2000.

You said system keeps 'blue screening', is this a new installation? Upgrade? etc.

Its an upgrade from Win98SE, The conflict I think is between the Sound card and the Video Card. But there are no conflicts shown in the device manager. But If I remove either of them then the blue screens stio. I have gotten all of the drivers from the manufactures,

If you have the oportunity do a clean install on an NTFS partition. If you upgrade a system that has any "issues" it compounds things and is hard to get just right. Also you've got so much kit in there that you could do with making sure all the drivers are tip top. Go for a fresh start.

Another thought, if liveware for 98 is all on there it could be a problem. There are the DOS drivers that it puts in place for 98, if they are still on there after upgrade it could be giving 2000 trouble. Win2000 is totally incompatible with legacy drivers.
