No, but I've got a lot of question:

Please tell us make and model of your motherboard, bios, bios revision, 
cpu, hard drive make and model and power supply.  How much memory do you 
have?  List all installed software.  Did you run the program chkupgrd.bat 
located in the i386 folder of the Win2k CD rom?  Please include a copy of 
the report it created.

If you answer all these question, someone could help with your problem.

You just havent given enough info for a reasonable guess....
