Run Perfmon(or sysmon in 2000) and log the Process Object selecting the "my
application" instance and monitor all counters.
Clear the event logs before starting it

(btw run perfmon from a remote machine so that when it freezes you don't
loose your log).

Make sure to enable dr. watson as your default debugger(just in case) as
well as you can run ADPLus i crash mode against your app

After it locks up look in the event logs(after reboot), and look in perfmon
and check out the log

You can see the graphic representation of memory use, cpu use, threads,
handles etc. See if you have any leaks, or if any other apps start to
contend(such as the debug service if its installed).

Also if you have any anti-virus software, every once in a while I notice
that somehow mine "argues" with my directx application and I have to kill it
as its sucking up 100% CPU.

Not that this answers your question, but will definitely help on your way.

Also, can you verify what Sp you have on Win2k and any other patches etc. As
well as varifying that you have the latest video drivers and you may want to
re-install your video drivers after you update directX(silly sounding
but...)

Hope something helps out.
