IIS problem

[Tougas]

I have a win2k machine with IIS 5 i believe. My problem is, whenever I have it seems more than 4 active connections on my web server my computer either reboots or I BSOD with a problem with hall.dll

I am behind a DI604+ router and a POS compusa switch. I have no idea what could be causing this, a bad NIC maybe? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Have you changed/swaped out any major hardware components since you installed the OS? (motherboard or cpu specifically?)

I put on a new heatsink.

Ok I just randomly BSODd with hal.dll and I didnt even have IIS running.

That's because your issue isnt IIS related.
HAL.dll is part of the Hardware Abstraction Layer and is a fundamental component of the OS.
I would try a repair install of of Win2k, booting from the CD.

What he said, but try reapplying your latest service pack first.
