I am running Win 2000 and when i just rebooted my
computer, it went through a disk scan and then switched to
a blue screen and announced a "KMODE Exception not
handled". I have tried to reboot given the options on the
screen, but each time it come back to the KMODE error. Any
suggestions?

What does the top line of the blue screen say, this usually holds some clues
as to what is causing the crash.

Have you tried booting into safe mode or using the 'last known good' option
yet?

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E)

This is a very common bug code. Usually the exception address pinpoints the
driver or function that caused the problem. Always note this address as well
as the link date of the driver or image that contains this address. A common
error is exception code 0x80000003. This error means a hard-coded breakpoint
or assertion was hit, but the system was booted with the /NODEBUG switch.
This problem should not occur very often. If it occurs repeatedly, make sure
a debugger is connected and the system is booted with the /DEBUG switch.

On non-Intel systems, if the address of the exception is 0XBFC0304, the bug
code is the result of a cache-parity error on the CPU. If the problem
reoccurs frequently, contact the hardware manufacturer.

Parameters:

1 - The exception code that was not handled
2 - The address at which the exception occurred
3 - Parameter 0 of the exception
4 - Parameter 1 of the exception

Safe mode yielded the same blue screen, as did the last
know good option. Our computer tech has the machine now.
