Maybe somebody with knowledge on this will respond eventually. In the meantime, I would post here under the Linux, Windows Related Problems section.

Also, have you tried Windows 2000 Newsgroups?

I had a similar problem too back when; the computer restartig by itself when u have bsod (blue screen of death); u can uncheck that restarting feature by going to the desk top and
1/rightclick on my computer icon
2/ choose "properties"
3/ choose "advanced"
4/ choose "startup and recovery"
5/ uncheck the option to restart when there's an error.

I dont know you have the same problem i did , but in my case, i had windows 2000 sp2 and ms office xp; and when i upgraded to windows 2000 sp3, it caused some kind of conflicts, so i went and upgraded the ms office xp on the microsoft site; and that made the problem go away.

i had already tried that...but it still restarts by itself

wiremind,

From what i can see from your memory dumps this is clearly something in your multimedia system. I can see that you have a crystal audio based sound card. But I have some questions.

1. What video card do you have?
2. What version of directX are you running?
3. do you play alot of games?

I had the same problem ( and so did others) when I installed my new Pioneer A05 DVD burner and was missing ASPI layer or had a bad one. I tried using DVDxCOPY and it just restarted on its own. When I uninstalled DVDxCopy and installed new ASPI layers (ForceASPI1.7) everything went back to normal.
Trying figuring out what is the sequence that makes it restart.

I had a simialr problem and it looks like I had a bad memory stick. I found that out by running this memory testing program that is really good freeware BTW.

I downloaded the iso and booted to that from CD-R. It runs 7 tests. Mine always crashed on the 5th test. Either individual stick will pass all tests by itself, but in combination they fail.
