VARIOUS BSOD ERRORS

[RADIOTEN]

I HAVE AN INTERESTING SITUATION. I AM RUNNING WIN2000 WITH SP3 INSTALLED. THE SYSTEM IS A DUAL PENTIUM III AT 500 MHZ WITH 512MB RAMBUS. I HAVE A RADEON 7200 AGP VIDEO CARD, SOUND BLASTER LIVE AUDIO, A HSP56 MODEM, PROMISE ULTRA 100 ADAPTOR CARD SUPPORTING 4 WESTERN DIGITAL HARD DRIVES, LINKSYS LNE100TX FAST ETHERNET, SONY DVD ROM. I HAVE INSTALLED IE 6.0 ALL THE LATEST UPGRADES AND DRIVERS. THE MACHINE IS AWESOME. HOWEVER I AM GETTING MANY BLUE SCREEN ERRORS AND MEMORY DUMPS. THE ERROR CODES ARE MANY, FROM NON PAGE AREA ERRORS TO MEMORY MANAGEMENT ERRORS. I ALSO GET MANY INSTANCES OF INTERNET EXPLORER CLOSING AND OFFERING TO SEND A REPORT TO MICROSOFT. NOW THE INTERESTING PART....ALL OF THE ABOVE CRASHES AND ERRORS ONLY OCCUR WHILE LOGGED ONTO THE INTERNET. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CRASH EXCEPT WHEN LOGGED ON TO MY ISP. ATT WORLDNET SERVICE IS MY ISP IN THIS CASE. I AM SUSPECTING SEVERAL CAUSES. FIRST I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE RAM. I WOULD THINK THAT A RAM PROBLEM WOULD MANIFEST ITSELF ALL THE TIME AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A VIDEO CARD PROBLEM FOR THE SAME REASONS. I BELIEVE IT IS EITHER RELATED TO SP3 OR THE MODEM. I HAVE ALREADY TWICE DONE A CLEAN INSTALL. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS SITUATION ? OR HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED A SIMILIAR SITUATION ?

tshoot BSOD 101:

Determine when the problem happens: IE:When I am online and then I launch IE 6.
IF you fresh loaded the OS did you save your files when you installed SP3? If so then roll back to SP0 (Or what ever) then apply SP2. The goal is to eliminate the SP as the problem.
If you suspect the modem then get the latest drivers. Windows has a one size fits all HCF modem drive, that works for *most* HFC modem controllers, but only the real deal works. SAme with some Network drivers as well.

PS STOP SHOUTING (IN CAPS)
