Since installing Service Pack 3 to Windows 2000, I get frequent
bluescreen stops:

STOP: 0x000000D1
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
wanarp.sys

Sometimes the system reboots by itself, and sometimes it hangs on the
bluescreen and has to be powered off and on.

This never happened before installing SP3, and installing SP4 has not
helped. I have also installed a fresh TCP stack, every critical patch
on Windows Update, and all drivers that might be even remotely
relevant. No relief.

It was suggested that these errors might be caused by faulty RAM, so
I installed and ran RAM-scanning software, but there appear to be no
memory problems.

My sysadmin says my only choices are to live with the crashes or wipe
the entire disk and reinstall the operating system, applications and
user data. Any better ideas?
 
I've seen the same.
Friend had it also.
He changed from fat32 to NTFS and turned off
hyperthreading in the bios.
His problem was files > 4 gig though, he's doing big
video .ram files..
Mine seems to be related to the DVD drives and dma.
good luck.
