Did you format the OS partition and do a complete re-install??? Could
be you are just reloading the problem, if not. Try removing all peripheral
devices......... even mouse............
And (I'm surprised on one else said it yet) do a sweep for virus/trojan/worm, adware, spyware. If need be use a boot disk.
If you can get w2k to functioning again, look at every device on the control panel, peripherals and system, including mobo resources like PCI controllers, USB controllers, etc. Look especially for double-installs, where two copies of a device are installed where there should be only one. Anything questionable, try uninstalling and reinstalling, PITA though it may be. This is the one I'd bet is the problem.
If not, then start looking at the running processes (not my area of expertise, but some here can read that dump, maybe spot something that shouldn't be there).
Look at CMOS. Got another HD? Install some sort of OS on that, boot from there, use that to examine the other drive.
Sterilize that partition, and look for boot and loading files on other partitions. Change the partition size, forcing a rewrite of the partition data, which may be screwed.
In the end you may have to wipe, fdisk and repartition. If that don't do it you got a hardware problem. Or your machine is infested with elves. Nasty little critters. :-\
