Win2k-MarvelG200-VidTools-UDMA

[Zampa]

First my specs:

K6-2 450 on Asus P5A-B (100MHz FSB)
128MB PC66 DRAM
Maxtor 7GB HD and WD 10GB HD (primary)
Ricoh 9105a CD-RW/DVD (secondary, master)
Matrox Marvel G200
Creative Labs SBLive! Value

Everything works WONDERFULLY in Win98SE.
My problem with Windows 2000 is never ending however.
It runs decent for a while, then suddenly, with no warning, reboots... no
BSOD, no error, just down... then I have bios screens and it begins to
reboot...
This happens EVERY time I have run Win2k unless I happened to reboot it
manually before it happens.
I am running the latest 5.06 PD drivers and the beta 2kvt200 vidtools.
That's another problem.... the vidtools don't work - AT ALL...
Every time I try to run the PC Remote or the Quick Connect it freezes the
machine or causes the immediate reboot...
Also while I'm asking... has anyone else been able to get UDMA working in
Win2k on an Ali chipset mobo? Ali doesn't provide its own win2k ide
busmastering drivers and the default microsoft one is only allowing UDMA on
the Master Primary.. everything else is running only at PIO Mode 4...
CLUNKY... it sucks...
If anyone has any insight as to how to get this stuff solved let me know...
I'm all ears!

Thanks-
Zampa

If you go System properties->Advanced->Startup and Recovery, do you have automatically reboot ticked? Remove the tick if you do, you'll then get some BSOD's.
