Keep getting BSOD in Win2k Pro

[mikysee]

Sometimes, I get the BSOD while booting, a few mins after I boot, or sometimes it would stay on for like 30min before I get BSOD. The two errors i always get are:
PAGE-FAULT-IN-NONPAGED-AREA
IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL
I'm using Win2k Pro with sp2 update. I have celeron@950, 256mb ram, 45gig ibm hdd, and gf2 gts.
Is there an update that I need to download or something? Thanks for any help.

These can be caused by buggy device drivers, system services, BIOS (look for updates), or even anti-virus software (try disabling), but the most likely cause is bad hardware, and the hardware I would check out first is the RAM.

RAM or the Hard Drive. as gbiello stated try the RAM first. James Collins
