my win2k doesnt boot up at all sometimes...

[epoxi]

everytime i restart, or turn on my computer, win2k doesnt boot up correctly sometimes. my screen would turn black after the bios loads and before the win2k bootup bar. so what i have to do is turn off my computer and turn it on, hoping that it'll boot up, i'd have to try around 3 times before it boots properly... with my experience with win2k, this has never been an issue for me...

any advice?

specs:
ecs k7s5a w/ 1ghz duron
radeon 7000
256megs ddr pc2100
onboard lan and sound

hm...so this is a hardware issue? my computer runs fine when benchmarking, gaming, and other intensive cpu-use programs...and i've left my computer on days on end without any trouble...

i was thinking more along the lines of something being wrong with the bootsector ? or win2k didnt properly install?

oh yeah, that reminds me of another thing... if i abruptly turn of my computer while in win2k, win2k doesnt run the sys check while booting up....this is my first time with these issues while using win2k...
thanks for the help =)
