I am at my wits end (a short trip) today, as my machine has been relentlessly crashing all morning. This is a Win2K machine, and not supposed to be prone to full-blown blue screen of death action, the last time this happened, it turned out a fan was dead and this was due to heat. Seems like all the fans are working, so the fix will not be as easy as last time, but I need to work this out fast, or my head is going to explode.
