W2KPro reboots self - driver issue?

[Stephanie]

In my office are 2 old, nearly identical machines recently
upgraded from Win98SE to Win2KPro. I recently replaced the
old Davicom ethernet cards with Linksys Etherfast 10/100
TX cards. While the machines' performance on the network
(esp. w/Citrix applications) has improved exponentially,
these machines seem to crash and reboot at will for no
apparent reason. Do I need to re-install the drivers, or
is this a deeper, more complicated issue? Thank you in
advance.

Good morning Stephanie,

This could be a driver issue, but we need more information to provide a
proper response. When you say the machines crash and reboot, what exactly
happens? Does it give a blue STOP screen, or does it freeze or some other
type of hang behavior?

We could look in the System event log and try to see whats going on. You
can click Start -> Run, type eventvwr, and then choose the System log.
