This BSOD is the result of a registry or Configuration Manager problem.
The error can be caused by an I/O error during reading a registry hive or by a hardware or file system problem.
To resolve the issue:
- Run CHKDSK to verify/fix any files system problems.
- Try booting to the Last Known Good configuration.
- Use tip 3200 to recover your system.
- If you just added new hardware, remove it. Check the HCL.
- If you just installed Windows 2000, make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements and that your
BIOS is current.
