win2k KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

[Atrocities]

Win2k is basically NT and NT is not millennium! Millenium was a reboxed version of windows 98 with some elements of Win2k but that is as far as it went.

Win2k = mucho bad. Get XP.

In my experience, this has been the polar opposite from reality.

If you upgrade to XP, on the other hand, you would still get plenty of support, as Microsoft is still happily tinkering away at new service packs for XP, while the others are being left out in the deep freezer IIRC.

To me, the very few (non-bloat) things added in XP over win2k are not worth the cost of money to power the bits sustaining them. I can get far better free 3rd party applications to replace them.

then look for a worm

Do you have a name of such a worm I should be looking for?

Naw its not Win2k that is causing the problem, its Fyron and all that sticky stuff on the key boards. The PC just can't handle it any more. This is why we do not eat at our computers guys......

Speak for yourself man!

WinME also eliminated the last vestiges of legacy 16 bit architecture from the kernel, without bothering to prevent the installation of 16 bit drivers and 3rd party apps. This is the main source of problems in WinME, really...

Well, a hardware reboot occured somewhere in the 90% range while running memtest86, so I have removed the second stick of ram in hopes of it being the problem.

The first worm, dubbed Zotob, appeared on Sunday and appeared to have faded Monday. However, several Zotob offshoots and another new worm, Bozori, were subsequently unleashed. New versions of pre-existing threats Rbot, Sdbot, CodBot and IRCBot also began wriggling their way into computers.

Every day or so there is a new flavor of Zotob, and lots of old worms are showing up with altered code.

You can try booting up with a bartPC disk and then running one of the AV's against the hard drive.

Do not seem to be infected by Zotob or variants.

Is there a program that can be run to check the integrity of various pieces of hardware?

[Thermodyne]

Not that I know of on custom builds.

Did you try to run windows repair yet?

Also, you might try to run the dos hard drive tests from your drive provider.

Then try msconfig and back the driversout one at a time.

Fyron, how did your system get infected with this? Don't you have the latest anti virus protection software? Try this site for help. http://www.security-forums.com/forum/index.php

My computer is not infected with anything...

It is quite safe to say that my problems are 100% independent from software, since the hardware reboots have occured while running memtest86...

Memory tests ok. Hard drive passed the quick test of WDC Data Lifeguard. Sigh... nothing left to test easily.
