Help: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP 0x0000007F

Hi Guys

I've got a problem with my windows 2000 sbs box. I am getting a BSOD just as
the progess bar reaches the end during bootup (not the black dos like
screen, but the white and grey windows logo screen) with the following
error;

**STOP 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

I have looked this up in the KB and found I have a double fault error and
this usually means faulty hardware (apperently). I have replace the old
memory with brand new stuff with no success. The computer boots fine into
safe mode, but not into normal windows. I would appricate any advise or help
on where to go next.

Many Thanks
James

Well... usual routine applies. Take all cards out of the server (minus
the video card which you'll find handy :) - and see how that boots. (ie
take all the cards you can take out without crippling the PC - eg you
might need your SCSI controller card in there too). Hopefully the
machine will boot ok. If not, yer in trouble :) If it's good, put
cards back in one at a time until it (hopefully) BSOD's again.

If it still errors with all cards pulled you can afford to pull - yer
gonna have to pull them too - swap out the vid card for another, same
with the SCSI controller (or boot another bootable HDD on standard IDE
port (should one exist)).

If it still fails with a 'barebones' setup - you better find another
mobo.
