Windows 2000 Pro Stop Error 7B

[Guest]

Hi

I am new to the discussion groups. Has anyone got any ideas on this one

We have several machines, all identical builds (Cel 1200, 128mb, 20gb NTFS, Intel 815EGEW mainboard) all running a fully patched version of Windows 2K Pro

Over the last couple of months I have been called to these machines on many occasions with BSOD STOP 7B Inaccessible Boot Device. Running chkdsk /f occasionally finds orphaned files and the machine restarts OK but sometimes there are no filing system errors so the only thing I can do is re-image the machine. This could last a couple of days or a couple of months, it varies

The next part of the STOP error (which I believe may be a memory address) varies, the third is always 0xC0000032 and last two are zeroes. Does any know how to decode this into something useful, or can point me in the right direction?

Have these computers had SP3 or SP4 applied right before this
occurred?
I've had this problem and solved it by reverting to an older version
of ATAPI.SYS. The computers were HP Brios.

Thanks for replying, thought my message had been forgotton it was so long ago

No, the machines were patched to SP4 and performed OK for ages. I have 200 of these machines but only certain machines do it, so I suspect that as they are all identical hardware, it may be an application or web-site which is causing it

Do you know how to decode the arguments in the BSOD message, or can you point me to a good web-site or book which can help

Thanx again.
