Here is my setup..
PIII-600EB
Abit BE6-II
256 ram
WD 30 gig HD ATA-100
Sound Blaster Live
Voodoo 3000
NIC Card
CD Rom
HP CD Burner
Please bear with me I am new to this forum but read here all of the time. With that being said..

I keep getting blue screens in Windows 2000.

It says DRIVER_IRLQ_LESS_NOT_EQUAL and the goes on to reference my HPT366. This only happens when I do any intensive writing to my HD, i.e. Disk Defrag. My obvious thought was it was a problem with the HD. I have 3 brand new Western Digital Hard drives. I have reloaded onto 3 different HDs and still get the same blue screen when I try any intense HD activity. I have also replaced the ram thinking it was causing this.

I am begining to suspect a hardware problem. What do you guys think?

When I got that same blue screen with the same error, I found out it was associated with the scsi card that I installed, an Adaptec DPT scsi card. Apparently the drivers were probably not win2k compliant. After taking that out and installing an Adaptec 2940B card .. everything was smooth sailing again .. and not a single blue screen to this day (well at least not one with the same error) :)

Maybe you are loading drivers that are not win2k compatible? Or maybe you may need to update the BIOS to the latest revision?

I'm currently having the same exact problems with my Win2k. I turned off the automatic dump and it now just restarts. I also thought it was a memory problem, but have found out it is not. My problem is I don't really have anything in the computer I'm using. It just has the RAM, HD, Burner, NIC, and Video. The drivers are the same ones I've been using forever. It seems to be a problem that has just poped up. Please keep me posted as to a solution. Thanks,
